The Progressive Suspension 944 Series Shock, part number 944-4019UL-QPS, offers a premium suspension upgrade designed specifically for touring motorcycles seeking enhanced ride quality and a lowered profile. Featuring a unique ultra touring spring configuration, this shock provides the comfort and travel of a 13-inch shock while maintaining a custom lowered appearance of approximately 12 inches, sitting 2 inches lower than standard touring shocks. This design delivers improved control and stability, especially at intersections and when parking, by lowering the rider's stance without sacrificing suspension performance. Built with advanced features like high-pressure gas charging and progressive rate mainsprings, the shock ensures consistent damping and durability under various riding conditions. The shock's construction incorporates Frequency Sensing Technology (FST), which automatically adjusts damping based on bump frequency, providing a smoother ride over rough terrain and bumps alike. The available configurations—Standard, Heavy-duty, and Super heavy-duty—allow riders to choose the optimal setup based on their load requirements, from up to 250 lbs. to over 350 lbs., making it suitable for a wide range of touring applications. The integrated Quick-Preload System (QPS) upgrade kit simplifies preload adjustments with a sealed gear drive, eliminating the need to remove saddlebags or use tools, whether transitioning from single to two-up riding or back to solo. The shock's unique spring combination offers a lowered rider height even when on the side stand, enhancing control during stops and parking. Designed for easy installation, preload can be adjusted manually without special tools, and the shock is made in the USA to meet high-quality standards. It is important to verify that your motorcycle’s wheel travel and clearance are compatible with the shock's length to prevent contact issues with components such as the exhaust, chain/belt guard, or tires. The Progressive Suspension 944 Series Shock provides a significant upgrade for touring riders seeking lowered stance, superior ride comfort, and adjustable preload for various riding loads.
