Progressive Harley 444 Series Shocks 12.0in - Black

When you're looking to smooth out the ride on your Harley-Davidson, especially for longer trips or varied road conditions, the Progressive 444 Series Shocks are a solid choice. These 12-inch black shocks are built to handle the demands of touring and cruising, offering a significant upgrade over stock suspension. They are designed to fit a wide range of Harley-Davidson models, including popular bikes like the Road King, Street Glide, and Electra Glide, making them a versatile option for many riders.

What sets these shocks apart is their patented Frequency Sensing Technology (FST). This advanced system allows the shocks to automatically adjust damping based on the frequency of bumps they encounter. Whether you're dealing with small road imperfections or larger impacts, the FST system intelligently distributes oil through its ports to absorb the hit, leading to a more comfortable and controlled ride. The shocks also feature a progressive rate spring, which means the spring gets stiffer as it's compressed, providing a good balance of comfort on small bumps and support for heavier loads or harder riding. Plus, the top-mounted threaded preload adjuster lets you fine-tune the suspension by hand, no special tools required, so you can easily set it up for your specific riding style or load.

These 444 Series shocks are well-built in the USA and come with a limited lifetime warranty, reflecting Progressive's confidence in their durability. You can choose between standard or heavy-duty spring rates depending on your typical load, and they are available in a sleek black finish to complement your bike's aesthetics. Installation is straightforward, typically involving unbolting the old shocks and bolting these new ones in place, but always refer to the manufacturer's instructions for the most accurate procedure. This upgrade is a significant step towards a more comfortable and capable ride for your Harley-Davidson.
