490 Sport Series Shocks and Asymmetrical
49 mm Monotube Cartridge Kits
"A true sport performance shock at heart at an
unbelievably low cost," Progressive Suspension's
new 490 Sport series shocks feature a high-pressure
monotube with deflective disc damping technology,
hand threaded preload and a rebound adjustment to
dial in the ride.
"This technology, coupled with a linear rate spring,
allows for consistent feel through the damper stroke
and the ability to withstand extreme temperature
ranges and heavy loads. An engineered jounce
bumper with a built-in metal cup also helps smooth
out and control bottoming."
Also seen here, Progressive says it has "gone back to
the drawing board and created a state-of- the-art fork
cartridge kit designed to outperform everything on
the market," and that this fork monotube kit with
external preload adjustment means "true high
performance front suspension is finally available for
H-D 49 mm front ends."
The new asymmetrical design places a preload
Fork monotube kit
adjuster over a progressive rate spring in one leg and
an aluminum bodied, sealed cartridge damper on the
other. "The result is superior damping and ride control
combined with tuneable preload and a new
benchmark for high performance suspension on the
49 mm Dyna and Sportster platforms."
It can be installed in either configuration - standard
or 1" low for 2006+ Dyna applications and 2016 XL
48 models. All Progressive Suspension products are
hand built, tuned and dyno tested at the company's
California facility and backed by a lifetime warranty.
