Progressive 444 Shocks For Harley Touring 1984-2025
The Ultimate Suspension Upgrade for Harley Bagger Owners (1984-2025)
Are you tired of the jarring ride on your Street Glide? Does your Electra Glide wallow in corners when fully loaded? Stock Harley-Davidson touring suspension is often under-sprung and under-damped for real-world touring, especially when riding two-up with luggage.
Upgrade to the gold standard of aftermarket comfort and control: Progressive Suspension 444 Series Shocks.
Designed to cover four decades of Harley Touring frames—from the classic Evo FLH and Twin Cam eras to the modern Milwaukee-Eight machines—the 444 series delivers a premium ride quality that transforms high-mileage days.
Why the Progressive 444 is the Best Shock for Harley Touring:
The secret lies in Progressive’s Frequency Sensing Technology (FST). Inside the monotube damper, a unique valve dynamically adjusts based on the speed of the suspension movement.
Cruising Highway: The valve opens freely to absorb small ripples and expansion joints, providing a plush, comfortable ride.
Hit a Pothole: The valve instantly reacts to the rapid movement, firming up the damping to keep the bike stable and prevent painful bottoming out.
Key Features & Benefits:
Hand-Adjustable Preload: No more looking for shock pumps or wrenches. Easily twist the top cap by hand to set the correct sag for solo riding or secure it for max-load two-up touring.
FST Damper Technology: Smart suspension that automatically adapts to changing road conditions for superior comfort and chassis control.
Heavy Duty Options: Do you ride fully loaded 50% of the time or more? The 444 Heavy Duty spring rate option is specifically designed for rider/passenger combinations weighing over 250 lbs, making it the best Harley shock for two-up riding.
Wide Fitment Range (1984-2025): Specific applications ensure perfect geometry for Road Kings, Road Glides, Street Glides, and Ultra Limited models across all major frame changes (Evo, Twin Cam, M8).
Available Heights: Choose stock height for maximum travel or shorter versions to lower your bike’s rear end for a custom look and easier reach to the ground.
Premium Finish: Available in showroom-quality Chrome or stealthy Black anodized finishes.
Made in the USA and backed by a Lifetime Limited Warranty.
Stop dreading bumps and start enjoying the ride. Bolt on a set of Progressive 444s and feel the difference immediately.
