Nice Job,Thank You..
@Progressive Suspension -Where is the 'sag adjustment' video?? -How does adjusting preload on one shock work in the twin shock configuration or should I just stick with a set of 422 without RAP?? Cheers
My brother gave me a set of Progressive 944 4020…. What’s the 4020 mean??
Heavy duty... They say 250lbs+. I believe it's 320lb+
I just bought a set of 944 Ultra standard for the rear and Heavy Duty FOrk Springs for the front as recommended by JP Cycles for my 03 FLHTCUI. It now occurs to me that if I lower the rear by an inch I need to to the same on the front. Is this correct? It also occurs to me that I didnt really need to lower the rear because I'm 5'101/2" and I flat foot just fine with the OEM shocks. COuld you confirm whether or not it will be fine riding the 944s with lowering the front? THanks
Ive oredered a set with standars springs, i only weigh 140 lbs and am a little nervouse i wont be able to get enough sag. Ive noticed with all the shocks ive researched they all pretty much list a spring weight fir below 250 and the heavier for 250 up and so on. Any light riders able to chime in, or progressives thoughts?
Hey Jake, I'm in the same boat as you, although I weigh in at 185. I purchased a set of the 944s last year, installed them and haven't been happy with them since. My bike rides so stiff that I think I'm going to go back to stock for now. I just call the "Progressive Tech Hotline" last week and spoke to a guy and he basically said that I was at the minimum weight for that shock. So if I were you, I would look at going with something different. It's really sad that stock Harley shocks are a lot better ride (for us light weight guys) than this progressive shock. Apparently Progressive thinks every Harley rider is at least 200+ lbs.
Hi Kent, I have mine installed on my 02 roadking, in this video they have them being set at 11.25 inches which I dont understand at all that is not what the instructions say. My first ride I had them at 11.25 and it was terrible the harshness was them bottoming out instantly. The instruction state sag should be set at 1.2 to 1.7 from full extension which is 13" meaning they should measure around 11.8 to 11.25 I set at 11.75 and it was worlds better but do to the roads I ride in I opted to put a little more preload in to sit right at 12" and it's very nice. To my surprise that was 5 turns form zero preload even at my light weight of 140 pounds. Once my bags are on with chaps coat, some misc. Tools and rags it's probably at that 11.75 mark. Just remeber preload will not change the stiffness of the spring only ride hight. I think allot of people don't realize the harshness is the shock bottoming out and they also think that adding preload will make it stiffer which it won't. Just what I experienced, about 1000 miles on them now alomg with front cartridge setup and im happy with them
If your unsure if there bottoming out ride down a dirt road then ride a mile or so and look at the shafts if there shiny all the way to the bump stop that's your issue, I live on a gravel road so that's how I figured it out now if I don't hit any seriouse dips or bumps there always about an 1/8 inch of dust a above the rubber bump stop telling me there about perfect
What setting if you want to have the softest ride. My buddy is letting me use his bike while he is in Guam and basically made this ultra classic into a rigid frame. Just trying to find a video on settings. Thank u 490-1005
where is the second video for setting sag?
in this video, the gentleman uses the OLD (smaller) top out spring in the right leg with the cartridge, but doesnt use the lowering configuration. The Instructions and kit I received have a NEW "longer" top out spring to use on the cartridge side when maintaining the stock height. Is this video just old? Im assuming the newer instructions supplied are correct, and not this video?
Hello, do you find thé answer ? I have thé sale question I received a kit with one longer Spring.
@@bricebotton7639 no reply back. I just followed the instructions with the kit. I dont know if I have them adjusted correctly, but i honestly do not feel much difference from stock. Just my opinion.
So there is two differents top out Spring ?
How does adjusting the preload on only one shock work?
Very nice job!! My question is, I keep hearing about adjusting the height level. I have a 2015 Fatboy and where it sits, I just fine with me, I guess the question is, how to adjust for a softer ride, especially if you come across a railroad track, or just cruiseing around town, or highway.
FYI, this info (Oil Level) in INCORRECT as per the Progressive Tech Support line. DO NOT FOLLOW THIS GUIDE.!!! I noticed a discrepancy on the video (printed is different) so I emailed and called them. For what it's worth I was also told by the lady on the phone that this page was NOT owned by Progressive Suspension
So why do the printed instructions say 300ml on the cartridge side and 170mm on the left side? This video clearly says 200ml in both sides. Which is it?
Where is the video to show how to ajust sag on 422? It really would be helpful.
Tried to install the 31-2500 Mono Kit on 2012 HD Glide. It says to use the stock bottoming cup. But if I do the fork tube gets stuck on it and won't move up. The bottom cup fits fine over the monotube bottom rod. But it's as if the cup is too big to fit inside the fork tube. What am I doing wrong??
Great Explanation! Better then any of the other videos especially explaining the lowering portion. I couldnt figure mine out and was getting pissed.
Thanks for skipping the part where you break the rear bolts free!
Simple procedure made complicated..
I find mine to ride ruff 2020RKS
Do you have any self adjusting shocks
I installed these about 2 years ago And now I'm bottoming out did I blow a seal or are the tubes blown 2012 street glide Lowered 1in
replaced with these on my 95 softail, they are great shocks!!
I have a 94 Heritage, I've heard the thickness of Progressive shocks hang a little lower than frame rails causing my J&S jack being unable to be used. True/false?
@@rogershinton7483 if the 94 is the exact same as the 95 then all I can say is I have no issues with my jack?
@@meseahunt Thanks. I've been thinking of these shocks but worried if I could still use my jack.
How many milligram oil go to 49 mm dyna forck?300 and 200?
You dont have to life the bike up and measure the suspension with no weight and see difference for free sag before rider jumps on? Or is that for something else?
Ok how do I set sag?
Looking good might need to get a set of these for my deluxe 🤙🏽
i just bought progressive suspension for my for my sportster, and just have a good feeling,its going to be superior to the standard fork spring,i hope so anyway
I think this video needs to be updated but it does give you a good understanding of what you’re going to be in for.The preload spacers are different now.
I'm guessing a thorough video doesn't exist. This leaves out so much
I been looking at shocks for my new RG. I really like the look of your shocks. I just can’t believe how expensive simple things like these and other items are. It’s ridiculous how much overpriced Harley parts are, with how many are on the road. I can add a 7-1/2” lift kit with Bilistein shocks, plus labor, on my Chevy Truck, for less than a full shock replacement on a Harley doing it myself. I know because I just had truck lifted. Takes a shop 2 days to lift truck but you can change all 4 shocks on a Harley in less than 2-3 hours. Something’s got to give. I guess stock shocks are going to stay.
I see you ended up going with Ohlins which are incredible shocks! I'm curious what you paid for those bad boys!?
@@jonnymac8925I love em. Made a world of difference. I want to do the front next. I believe I got them for around $950-1k.
Yet here you are whining about price.
@@guillermodelcastillo2548 And?…. I didn’t say I wasn’t going to do it. I said looks like stock for now. Took about 6 months debating on when I wanted to throw $1k into 2 simple shocks. And I still haven’t done the front because of the ridiculous prices. It’s been around a year now and will probably be another year before I do it. Always got to be those keyboard warriors out there with their pointless comments.
Damn this is a good video. #hiddengem
I have a set of the 944 touring shocks, with heavy duty springs. Owned them just over a year. Had them installed at Daytona bike week last March. They set my sag and installed a sticker with info inside my saddlebag. With that being said. Last few months I cannot adjust these shocks. Even with two grown people sitting on the bike. The adjuster will not move. Really sucks because we go from one to two riders all the time. Talked to y’all’s customer service and they want me to send them back, which can can take 3 months. Not expectable, for the amount of money these shocks cost. My question is. Do you have any ideas why my shocks would be doing this, can I fix them? Thanks for your time.
Are you trying to turn the adjuster with rider weight on the bike? That pressure can be too much to allow the adjuster to turn. If you're adjusting with no weight on the bike and the adjuster isn't moving, there is a chance that debris has found its way into the adjuster threads and needs cleaning. The only way to do this is to use a spring compressor to disassemble the shock and clean out the threads on the adjuster as well as the damper body itself.
@@ProgressiveSuspension1982 I have tried no rider, one rider and multiple riders. Based on what I was told by progressive. Next step I was going to try would be jacking the bike up and trying to adjust shocks. I asked them the very question of could something be sticking or need to be lubed and they said no. Does Progressive sell the tools to disassemble the shocks? So I don’t have to send them off for months during riding season. Thanks for responding.
@@JLK1978 It's typically something that isn't normall an issue. You can find the tool to take the spring off here to get to the adjuster threads: www.progressivesuspension.com/product/1477/shock-tool-for-psi-shocks
@@ProgressiveSuspension1982 do you think this will fix my issue? Is there a video on how to use this tool? Not a bad price.
@@JLK1978 we can’t say what the issue is without seeing the shocks in person. There isn’t a video on the tool at this time. Realistically, if it’s that hard to turn, it probably needs to be sent in for an evaluation.
Very impressed with the 412 Series Progressive rear coil overs we installed on 2021 RGS #performancebaggin build!!
i'm debating between the 412 and the 444's...?
Very impressed with the 412 Series Progressive rear coil overs we installed on 2021 RGS #performancebaggin build!
I'm doing this on a 01 Electra Glide. Do I use the original bottom cup? I can't get the 6mm Allen it to torque!! Just wants to spin inside!! Holding everything as should, but spinning inside!! Thx
This video is linked to the monotube cartridge kit for the Sportster 48, which has much different instructions than this. I had to cut my spacer for proper ride height, and it said to fill the leg without the aluminum body with the normal amount of oil, and the aluminum body leg only gets a small amount of oil, but none of that is mentioned in this video. I love the 490 shocks and monotube forks but I won't ever buy another progressive suspension product. I ordered expensive shocks and forks and reached out on Instagram, via email and on UA-cam for over a year asking simple questions that I eventually had to either figure out on my own or from someone else because there is literally 0 customer service after they get their money. It will be Ohlins or Legend next time simply for this reason alone.
Do you have a video of gl1800 rear suspension 465rap swap? F6b if possible
These are garbage, says has 3 clips for each side, 2 recommended, but my kit only came with 4 clips so went 1 on each side & brake dives just like stock. What a waste of time & money
Cap
Clips? What are clips?
Cool

Curious if this would fit a 2015 Indian scout
Is replacing the bushings and oils seals recommended with this install? Cheers!
They did the easy side... the left is under extreme pressure and for stock requires a special spring compressor.
They aren't the same? I'm going w ohlins anyway
what is the kit number that you used on this bike?
Being that the oil is only used for lubrication, weight or oil height won't have any effect on handling (tuning)?
What is the length of the PVC spacer supposed to be?
Just ordered a pair. Impress me.
