The Progressive Suspension 944 Series Shock (Part Number: 944-4071UT-QPS) offers a premium upgrade for Harley-Davidson touring bikes, combining advanced technology with a lowered profile for enhanced handling and style. Featuring a unique spring configuration, these shocks deliver the ride comfort and suspension travel of a 13-inch shock while maintaining the sleek, lowered appearance of a 12-inch shock. The Ultra Low Series design sits approximately 2 inches lower than stock touring shocks, providing a more aggressive stance without sacrificing ride quality. Built around Progressive Suspension’s innovative Frequency Sensing Technology (FST), these shocks automatically adjust damping in response to bump frequency, resulting in superior ride comfort and stability across varying road conditions. The shocks come in three configurations—standard (up to 250 lbs.), heavy-duty (250 to 350 lbs.), and super heavy-duty (over 350 lbs.)—to accommodate different rider weights and load requirements. The integrated QPS upgrade kit allows quick and easy preload adjustments without removing saddlebags, enabling seamless transition between solo and two-up riding configurations. This sealed gear drive system ensures smooth preload changes and maintains consistent performance. Constructed with progressive rate mainsprings specifically designed for touring applications, these shocks feature high-pressure gas charging for reliable damping performance. Their unique spring combination lowers rider height during rides and when parked, enhancing control at intersections and during parking maneuvers. Adjustable via hand-tightened preload collars, these shocks eliminate the need for special tools, simplifying customization. Made in the USA, the 944 Series shocks are engineered for durability and superior performance, especially in super heavy-duty applications where bikes operate above maximum load ratings for extended periods. Proper installation and clearance checks are essential to ensure compatibility with your motorcycle’s wheel travel, exhaust, chain/belt guards, and tires. Upgrade your Harley-Davidson touring bike with the Progressive Suspension 944 Series Shock for improved handling, lowered stance, and a ride quality that adapts to your riding style and load demands.
