How does the Remote Adjustable Preload (RAP) system work?

The RAP system places a remote adjuster, typically near the left passenger peg, allowing you to easily change the spring preload without removing the shock. This makes it simple to adjust for different riding conditions or passenger loads.

Can I lower my Harley Softail with these shocks?

Yes, these shocks offer adjustable length, allowing you to lower your motorcycle by up to 2 inches from its stock ride height. This gives you flexibility in achieving your desired stance.

What is the difference between standard and heavy duty versions?

The Heavy Duty version is built to handle increased loads, such as carrying a passenger or extra luggage, providing more consistent damping and support under those conditions compared to the standard version.

Product Details

When you're looking to dial in the ride on your Harley Softail, especially when carrying a passenger or extra gear, adjusting your rear shocks can be a real pain. The stock setup on many Softails hides those shocks away, making it tough to get to the preload adjuster. That's where the Progressive 422 Series Heavy Duty shocks with RAP come in. They're designed to give you easy access to preload adjustments, so you can fine-tune your suspension without a struggle.

These shocks use a high-pressure gas charged monotube design, which helps maintain consistent damping performance no matter what the road throws at you. The real standout feature is the Remote Adjustable Preload (RAP) system. It places a convenient adjuster, usually located behind the left passenger peg, allowing you to quickly change the spring preload. This is incredibly useful for adapting your ride to different loads, whether you're riding solo or two-up. Plus, you can adjust the length from stock down to 2 inches lower, giving you options for your bike's stance.

This set is built for the Heavy Duty application, meaning it's ready for the demands of carrying more weight. They come in a bright chrome finish that looks great on many Softail models. Installation is straightforward, and you'll notice a significant improvement in ride comfort and handling once they're set up. This is a solid option for any Harley Softail rider looking for improved adjustability and a more comfortable, controlled ride.
