What is the Remote Adjustable Preload (RAP) system?

The RAP system allows you to easily adjust the shock's preload using a convenient knob, which is mounted remotely. This means you can make quick adjustments by hand without needing special tools, making it simpler to dial in your ride for different conditions or loads.

What is the difference between Standard and Heavy-Duty spring rates?

The Standard spring rate is typically suited for average rider weight and general riding conditions. The Heavy-Duty spring rate is recommended for heavier riders, two-up riding, or carrying extra luggage, providing more support and preventing bottoming out.

Does this shock set include everything needed for installation?

This shock set includes the shocks themselves and the Remote Adjustable Preload (RAP) mounting bracket and instructions. It's always a good idea to refer to the manufacturer's installation guide for any additional hardware or tools that may be required for your specific motorcycle model.

Product Details

Starting with a beefy 16mm hard chrome shaft that rides on custom Viton seals, these Progressive 465 Series shocks are built for the long haul. The large 46mm bore monotube design uses deflective disc damping to give you a controlled ride, and the threaded body lets you adjust preload easily. This is a well-built upgrade for your 2018 and newer Harley-Davidson M8 Softail, offering a noticeable improvement in how your bike handles bumps and corners. You get a 5-position rotatable rebound damping adjuster to fine-tune your ride characteristics.

The standout feature here is the Remote Adjustable Preload (RAP) system. It includes a mounting bracket and instructions, allowing you to position the adjustment knob where it's most convenient for your specific bike model. This means you can make quick, hand-adjusted changes to the preload without needing special tools, which is a huge convenience when you're carrying a passenger or changing your load. These shocks are hand-built, tuned, and dyno-tested by Progressive, ensuring they meet their standards before they even ship out. They are available in several lengths, including this 13.5-inch option, and come with either a Standard or Heavy-Duty spring rate to match your needs.

This set is designed to fit a wide range of Harley-Davidson Softail models from 2018 and up, including popular bikes like the Fat Boy 114, Heritage Classic 114, and Street Bob 114. Each shock is built to provide approximately 0.8 to 1 inch of ride height adjustment. They also come with a Limited Lifetime Warranty, giving you peace of mind with your investment.
