Sport Series Shocks
New from Californian suspension specialist
Progressive Suspension, these 465 high-
performance monotube shocks for M-8 Softails and
990 Sport series shocks are high pressure gas
monotube designs.
The 465s feature Progressive's new RAP (Remote
Adjustable Preload); the 46 mm bore shock is loaded
with features such as deflective disc damping,
threaded body and a 5-position rebound adjuster -
"setting it up to perfectly match the bike, weight and
riding style is now a few clicks away." Ships with
remote mounting bracket.
Described as the "most adjustable shock in the V-
twin market," the 990 Sport series features complete
adjustability with a 0.4" adjustable height eyelet,
rebound damping adjustment, high and low speed
compression damping adjustment via easily
accessible knobs, and threaded hand-adjustable
spring preload.
The 990 features a high-pressure monotube with
deflective disc damping
routed through two
unique
circuits
delivering a consistent
feel through the damper
stroke for improved
performance and
stability. "Our new and improved engineered
jounce bumper features a captured design to
help smooth and control bottoming.
Engineered for aggressive, sport inspired riders,
the 990 sets the mark for excellence on V-twin
motorcycles."
Every Progressive Suspension shock absorber is
handbuilt, tuned and dyno tested in their facility and
backed by a lifetime warranty.
