Should have been a day one upgrade

By   on 

Installation was easy on my Kawasaki Vulcan 1500 classic. The OEM shocks were terrible from day one but dealership said "nothing wrong with them". After I installed these the ride and handling is like night and day with no more bottoming out on bumps. Got them in black and they look great on the bike.


Kept me from selling my bike

By   on 

I bought these for my 09 Ultra Glide and I cannot believe the overall improvement in the ride. I have been riding on the stock shocks and I almost sold the bike because it was completely killing my back. With these 430 shocks the bike rides like it should have from the beginning, smooth and the hard bumps are absorbed like they should. The ride has been improved 200 percent. Easy install and adjustment too.


Progressive 430 Shocks

These shocks look just as good as the perform. One of the best upgrades I have done to my bike.

Questions & Answers

Ask Question

Can I choose the spring rate? I am replacing the shocks on a 2009 vulcan voyager.

I am replacing the shocks on a 2009 vulcan voyager. On the page it doesn't give me an option for heavy duty spring. Is there a way to get heavy duty springs, or will these in standard be enough? Loaded bike, 2 up, I'm 250 lbs and passenger is 160ish.

Yes, once you choose your year/make/model, then color, you will be prompted to choose standard or heavy duty spring rate. Heavy duty would be recommended for any rider over 220 lbs or who is riding with a passenger/loaded down more than 50% of the time.

By Andy
Answer Question

I want to drop my 2020 RKS as much as possible. Which of your shocks is the best for that? And yes i will be doing heavy duty as i am 230#

The best option in my opinion for going as low as possible without sacrificing ride quality would be the Progressive 944 Series Ultra Touring Shocks, which you can search for on our site. They offer a heavy duty version in their "Ultra Low" length which would lower you down 2" on that bike.

By Andy
Answer Question

2012 Kawasaki Voyager 1700, how much will it lower the rear?

How much will it lower the rear?

These shocks would lower that bike about 1" from stock ride height.

By Andy
Answer Question

I have a 2007 street glide. I weigh 220 lbs and my wife rides with me a lot. Which progressive 930s do you recommend

I would recommend the stock height 13" length heavy duty shocks. That should give you the best ride quality for your setup.

By Andy
Answer Question

are these shocks a big upgrade from your 412 meaning ride wise

Yes, the 430 would be an upgrade as far as ride quality and looks.

By Andy
Answer Question

I have a 2003 Kawasaki Vulcan 1500 my weight is 260lbs and my wife is 130 lbs do you recommend the 430 or 444

It's not so much the shock model that you choose, but rather the spring rate you choose on your chose; standard or heavy-duty. With Progressive shocks, heavy-duty springs are best suited for solo riders over 220lbs. If you ride two-up and/or with a full load of luggage at least 50% of the time, heavy-duty shocks are also recommended. That said, between the two shocks, the 430 and 444 - the main differences are in the quality of the valving. The 444 shocks use a floating piston design whereas the 430 uses a working piston to damped suspension movements. If you're really after the best feel possible, then the 444 is the obvious choice. That's not to say the 430 is bad either - because that's not the case when compared to the stock suspension components. You'll get improved feel with either shock, but if you're a particularly fast rider, go with the 444! Just be sure to choose the correct spring rate to fit your needs as that'll have a significant bearing on how your bike handles in a given situation.

Answer Question

Hello, iv got a 2009 fltrse will these shocks work on my bike? Im 280 lb

You would have no problem installing these shocks to your 2009 Harley Davidson FLTRSE3 CVO Road Glide. For your weight, I would recommend the Heavy-Duty spring rate. Just be sure to measure your current shock length center-to-center on the mounts to determine the length you need. We have them available in lengths from 11.5" to 13" in .5" increments.

By Staff
Answer Question

I have a 97 Valkyrie Tour, I am 5 ft 8 in and weigh 240lb, what length would you suggest. I am not looking to lower my bike,just looking for comfort

The 1997 Honda GL1500CT Valkyrie Tourer came with 13" long shocks. So for your needs, just choose the 13" long Valkyrie Touer shocks from Progressive and you will retain stock suspension geometry for your ride.

By Staff
Answer Question

ON THE 2002 ROAD KING CLASSIC WILL THESE BE COMPATIBLE WITH THE SADDLE BAGS?

Progressive's 430 series shocks are only slightly larger, in diameter, than the OEM shocks on the 2002 Road King. So long as there's at east a 1/4" of clearance between the OEM shocks and the saddlebags on your machine, you should have no problem fitting these shocks to your bike.

By Staff
Answer Question

will i be able to mount my saddle bag bracket with these shocks

1991 harley hugger

Typically, if the OEM shocks don't interfere with the saddlebag brackets, then you won't have a problem with these Progressive Sportster Hugger shocks.

By Staff
Answer Question

what is the front fork springs go with these shocks? i have harley 883 sportster 2000 model.

Depending on your weight and riding habits, you may need either the standard rate Progressive Fork Springs or the Heavy-Duty Progressive Fork Springs. Standard rate springs are recommended for those that ride two-up less than 50% of the time and happen to weigh under 220lbs. If you're above that weight, or you ride two-up quite often, then we suggest the heavy-duty rate springs. The same can be said for the shocks you choose. Matching front and rear spring rates is critical if you want to get the most out of your suspension upgrades.

By Staff
Answer Question

Do the 11.5 hd 430 series come with new bushings and hardware?

2002 Vtx1800r

Each set of Progressive shocks comes with bushings that are designed to work with the OEM shock bolts on your VTX1800R. You are to re-use the OEM bolts in order to complete the installation.

By Staff
Answer Question

I'm 350lbs..should i go with standard or HD? I'm usually solo, but sometimes my daughter rides, she's about 100lbs

Standard rate shocks are designed for solo riders of 220lbs or less, so you'll want to go with the heavy-duty rated springs for sure. Also, to get the most out of your bike's suspension, we'd also recommend upgrading your fork springs with a Progressive Heavy-Duty Fork Spring kit. In this way, you'll match the spring rate of the front of the bike to go along with that of the rear shocks to keep things nice and balanced. In doing so, the bike's tendency to wobble on faster corners or when the pavement gets rough is eliminated since both ends will react the same way to whatever forces they encounter. Considering your needs, we'd implore you to upgrade the fork springs as well.

By Staff
Answer Question

Does this shock work with one rider at 150lbs and two riders at 300lbs?

These shocks in a standard duty spring rate would be best suited to your needs if you spend most of your time riding solo. If you spend most of your time riding two-up, then yes, you'll want to go with the heavy-duty spring rate shocks.
