Review on πŸ›΅ Enhance Your Harley Riding Experience with Progressive Suspension 944-4002UT Ultra Touring Standard Duty Shocks by Justin Spence

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Sneaky good shocks!

I installed them on a 2016 Street Glide. Stock shocks are 12 inches, I didn't measure them first and figured they would lower my bike 1 inch. That wasn't the case, the bike sits at exactly the same height, which isn't a problem as it's a good height to start with. My first ride was less than impressive as I felt the ride was still quite stiff and I was expecting a little more softness from the rear. Now I'm telling you it's "good". I drove a few hundred miles and realized that the only part about the suspension that I notice now is how bad the front end feels. Before I put them on, all I could feel was the horrible rear air shocks, which felt like I was on a hardtail. These shocks worked exactly as advertised, I put a 13" shock in place of a 12" shock, the bike fits the same and the travel has increased and the ride is much better. I can't say it's the best I've ever installed, but it's a definite improvement over the stock. For the money, they're hard to beat compared to other shocks available. If there was a little more on Progressives' website about which bike has 13" and which has 12" shocks, it would change my decision to buy Ultra Low shocks. I'm still happy with the end result but my heart was tuned down 1 inch as all of their videos show. This is the reason for 4 stars.
