What kind of adjustments can I make to these shocks?

These shocks offer adjustable rebound damping, allowing you to control how quickly the shock extends after compression. They also feature hand-threaded preload adjustment, which lets you set the initial tension on the spring to manage ride height and sag.

What does the monotube design do for my ride?

The high-pressure monotube design helps keep the damping fluid and gas separated, which prevents foaming and ensures more consistent damping performance. This means you get a more controlled and predictable ride, especially during spirited riding or over rough surfaces.

What is included with these shocks?

The shocks include the main shock absorber assembly with a progressive rate spring, a jounce bumper with a built-in metal cup, and both standard and bearing bushings for installation.

About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to dial in the suspension on your 1982-2019 Harley-Davidson FXR or Sportster, these 15-inch 494 Series shocks from Progressive are a solid option. They're built with a focus on sport performance, offering a way to get a more consistent and controlled ride, whether you're cruising around town or hitting the track.

At their core, these shocks use a high-pressure monotube design with deflective disc damping. This setup helps ensure the damping stays consistent, even under hard use. You can also fine-tune the ride to your liking with hand-threaded preload adjustment and rebound damping adjustment. The progressive rate spring works with the damping to handle a variety of road conditions smoothly. Plus, there's a jounce bumper with a built-in metal cup to help manage those moments when you might bottom out.

These shocks are hand-built and tested, and they feature a lightweight aluminum body. They come with both standard and bearing bushings, so you have options for installation. Progressive backs these with a Lifetime Limited Warranty, giving you peace of mind with your purchase.
