Progressive Progressive-Rate Fork Springs - Harley-Davidson
About Progressive
Progressive Suspension has focused exclusively on American V-twin suspension since 1982, and its Monotube fork cartridges and 400/970/970G shock series are among the most common upgrades on baggers and Softails. For most riders the stock rear shock is the single worst part on the bike — this is the fix.
Upgrade your Harley-Davidson's front suspension with Progressive progressive-rate fork springs. These precision-wound units are engineered to absorb small bumps smoothly while remaining firm enough to control aggressive brake dive and high-speed impacts. Experience a noticeable improvement in ride quality and front-end stability.
Why riders pick this

The factory fork springs on many Harley-Davidson models often leave something to be desired when it comes to performance. Progressive's progressive-rate design means the springs get stiffer as they compress, offering a plush ride over minor road imperfections and firm support when you need it most. This dual-action capability significantly enhances both comfort and control, making your V-twin more predictable on varied road surfaces.

Yes, a key benefit of Progressive's progressive-rate design is its ability to reduce front-end dive during braking, providing a more stable and controlled feel when scrubbing speed.
