How easy is it to adjust the preload with the Quik Preload System (QPS)?

The QPS system is designed for quick adjustments, often in under a minute. You can typically adjust the spring preload using an 8mm socket wrench without needing to remove your saddlebags, allowing for rapid changes based on rider or cargo weight.

What is Frequency Sensing Technology (FST)?

Frequency Sensing Technology allows the shocks to automatically adjust damping based on the frequency of road bumps. This means the shocks can react to different types of impacts, providing a more consistent and comfortable ride across various road conditions.

Does this shock set come with the tool needed for adjustment?

No, the 8mm socket wrench required for adjusting the spring preload is not included with these shocks. You will need to provide your own 8mm socket wrench for adjustments.

About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to dial in the ride on your Harley Ultra Touring model, especially when carrying different loads, these Progressive 944 Ultra Low shocks with the Quik Preload System (QPS) are a solid option. They're designed to make adjusting your suspension's sag much simpler, so you can quickly adapt from riding solo to carrying a passenger or extra gear without a hassle.

What really sets these shocks apart is the QPS. It uses a sealed gear drive that lets you adjust the spring preload in seconds, often without even needing to remove your saddlebags. You can get about 17mm of adjustment, and with 30 full turns available using just an 8mm socket wrench, you can really fine-tune the suspension to your exact needs. Beyond the easy adjustment, these shocks also feature Progressive's Frequency Sensing Technology (FST). This means the shocks can sense the frequency of bumps and automatically adjust the damping to give you a smoother ride, no matter the road conditions. They come with progressive rate main springs that are specifically tuned for touring bikes, and they'll typically lower your ride height by about 2 inches on most models, giving you that custom look and feel.

These shocks are available in a Super Duty version, which is what you're looking at here, for heavier loads. They're built to last and come with a Lifetime Limited Warranty from Progressive Suspension, so you can feel confident in your purchase. Remember, the 8mm socket wrench needed for adjustments is not included.
