Progressive 18-Up Harley Softail 465 Series Shocks 12.6in w/RAP Heavy Duty - Black

Progressive Suspension is well-known for making well-built suspension components that improve the ride and handling of your motorcycle. This 465 Series shock absorber is a prime example, designed specifically for the newer Harley-Davidson M8 Softail models. It features a high-pressure monotube gas design with a large 46mm bore and deflective disc damping, which helps provide a more controlled and comfortable ride compared to stock suspension. The 16mm hard chrome shaft uses custom viton seals, aiming for a long, leak-free life with low friction.

What really sets these shocks apart is the Remote Adjustable Preload (RAP) system. This allows you to easily adjust the spring preload by hand using a convenient knob, which is a huge help when you're carrying a passenger or extra gear. You can fine-tune the ride height in approximately 0.8 to 1-inch increments, and the threaded body lets you make precise adjustments. The shock also includes a 5-position rotatable rebound damping adjuster, giving you further control over how the suspension behaves over bumps and during cornering. Each shock is hand-built, tuned, and dyno-tested by Progressive, and they come with a mounting bracket and instructions for various mounting options depending on your specific bike model. This particular model is the 12.6-inch length with a Heavy Duty spring rate, suitable for a wide range of Harley-Davidson M8 Softail models like the Fat Boy, Heritage Classic, and Street Bob.

These shocks are built to last and come with a Limited Lifetime Warranty from Progressive. They are designed to fit a variety of 2018 and newer Harley-Davidson Softail models, including the Fat Boy, Heritage Classic, and Street Bob. If you're looking to significantly improve your ride comfort and handling, these 465 Series shocks are a solid option.
