Progressive 18-Up Harley Softail 465 Series Shocks 13.5in w/RAP Heavy Duty - Black

If you're looking to significantly improve the ride quality and handling on your 2018 and newer Harley-Davidson M8 Softail, these Progressive 465 Series shocks are a solid choice. They feature a high-pressure monotube design with a large 46mm bore and deflective disc damping, which helps provide a more controlled and comfortable ride compared to stock. The heavy-duty spring rate is tuned for these models, offering about an inch of ride height adjustment, and the shocks are hand-built and tested to ensure they perform right out of the box.

What really sets these shocks apart is the Remote Adjustable Preload (RAP) system. It includes a convenient adjustment knob that lets you quickly and easily dial in your preload by hand, without needing special tools. This is super handy if you frequently carry a passenger or cargo, as you can adjust the suspension to match the load. The shocks also have a 5-position rebound damping adjuster, giving you further control over how the bike handles bumps and rough roads. The beefy 16mm hard chrome shaft uses custom Viton seals, which are known for their low friction and leak-free performance, contributing to a long service life.

This particular set is the 13.5-inch length and comes in a black finish to complement your bike's look. Progressive includes a RAP mounting bracket and instructions to help you find the best placement for the adjustment knob, depending on your specific Softail model. They fit a wide range of M8 Softail bikes, including models like the Fat Boy 114, Heritage Classic 114, and Street Bob 114. With a limited lifetime warranty, you can be confident in their durability and performance.
