- We have installed the Progressive 444 rear suspension for Harley on quite a few bikes over the years and we love them. Because we've used these shocks for quite some time, we recommend them and carry them in the Law Abiding Biker Store. In this video, we show you how to install the 444 rear shocks on a Harley and how to adjust them so you have the proper sag. This model shock, like other Progressive shocks, are offered in different weight ratings.

Ryan , I bought a set of these for my Ultra but I havent installed them yet. Taking them out of box i noticed the bottm washer between the springs sldies up or down and will could rattle if u shake the shock in ur hands, Curioues before i install if thie is a problem or normal?
I've learned a lot of self maintenance practices from you guys. Its been great watching your shop grow into what it is now too.
Thanks so much! Just continuing to try and help as many bikers as we can worldwide!
I just realized the Harley Iron 883 I bought has Progressive 444 shocks on them and I had it fpr a month now. Had no idea until I was washing my bike than noticed some logo under my spring I didnt see before and it says Progressive and I looked up part numer and its the black 444. I didnt even know I could adjust them. I even asked the dealer if they were aftermarket shocks and he said no so I never even thought twice until today I noticed the logo underneath. Now im so excited to adjust them and trying to learn how.
It's fumny cuz the entire time riding the bike I kept thinking man people really exaggerated on how bad stock Iron 883 shocks are on youtube cuz it always felt like a nice smooth ride and my lean angle is so good which was another criticism I was beginning to think was exaggerated. Now it makes sense, its because I have Progressive shocks!! 😄 This bike is friggen awesome man! Also way more power than I was expecting too although it does have a stage 1 setup and tune (Python Throwbacks & Screaming Eagle Air Filter & Tune). Dude getting my motorcycle license and a Harley was best thing I did in a long time 😅 IM HAVING A BLAST!!!
Thanks for the video. It definitely helped! I purchased the 444 for my 2014 Ultra Limited. My air shocks don't hold air and when my wife and I ride tandem and loaded, we bottom out all the time. It definitely hurts. It took only 15 minutes to install. I did find the last bolt was very hard to line up and start. I ended up getting on the bike with my wife and had a friend start the bolt. They really help the ride.
Blue Lock-tight on those bolts? asking for a friend. Great video as always. Passes the time here in NY while recovering from knee surgery and waiting for snow to leave . LOL
Get well!
Well done! I liked our FP3 videos enough that I bought one from your store. I have had progressive on my old wing front/rear for many years. I think this system is the right choice for my FHLTK. Thanks from west central Idaho
Cool, thanks!
Ryan I like all your videos thank you so much I learned a lot from you guys I'm in Boca Raton Florida
Thanks so much! Just continuing to try and help as many bikers as we can worldwide!
Things I didn't know I needed.
LOL
I yanked my junk air shocks off years ago and installed the 2017 CVO shocks off my brothers 2017 CVO street Glide when he put aftermarket suspension on his bike and they seem to work well for me.
Great video as usual, I was looking at getting these for my 2013 electric glide....the heavy duty, I'm 6'2 230lb so I'm probably in the same configuration ad Oscar....cheers
The stock air shock do suck. Mine leaked early on. I rode without air. Wife and I riding, hit a bump, cracked my rear wheel bearing. Babied it home. I ordered my 924 from you right then. Had to replace rear wheel bearing. I got the heavy duties. The ride it great. My wife notices the difference too.
Great info. Thanks for sharing.
Hey brother,
Quick question. 2016 sgs replacing org shocks with 12in progressive 444 ----After adj the sag, will the shocks be 12 inch as the stock shocks or will they be 11 1/2 inches? Thanks
I have the 412s and want the 444s now
I am 73 and I just got my very first Harley-Davidson Dyna super glide custom FXDCI I have had the bike 3 weeks and I have found that I have to lower the bike cause I am not a big guy at 5'7" and 135 lbs. I am having a real problem maneuvering the bike, but I don't know what shocks I should get.
Another great video!
TY🤘
Hi Ryan - Great channel, Sir! Thank you for the straight up, honest information! I’m a light rider (165 lbs) and I feel beat up on my 2018 Street Glide Special. What shocks do you suggest to smooth out the ride? Thanks!
Ryan, I always enjoy your vids and I am subscribed of course. Question for ya. I purchased 944 heavy duty bc I'm 205 lbs my gf is 150 plus my trunk and bags on my 2019 FLHXS. the instructions state measuring center of bolt to bolt with a finale measurement of 11.25". Your vid says to measure with no rider(s) than with rider(s). What should my measurement be when it's all said and done? Help! Lol.... marty
Great video. What shocks would you recommend for the 14 Streetglide FLHX to keep stock height.
Thoughts on the stock spring on the FXBBS? Will I see a significant improvement replacing my OE shock with the HD Tall Shock or the Progressive 429 (13.5" shock)?
I dont see the link for the saddlebag locks.
I'm 5'9 and 225 but almost always ride solo. Heavy duty shock???
Can I do this with a normal floor jack
You should try the Wilbers selfniveling suspension, awsome ...👍🏻👑
Are you a patreon member of the lab group?
@@johnippolito2376 nope just experience with Wilbers
Progressive suspension instructions warn to mount the shocks with shaft up, not down as in this video????
Why did your friend choose Progressive shocks over Legend? I know about 5 years ago Progressive shocks were top notch unless you had the cash for an Ohlins setup. Just curious on why he chose what he did. I’m going to be doing the same here in the next week or two so I’d really interested on his thoughts. Cheers from way up North!

I’m looking at, Ross Wernimont RS-1 and Pro Action. I’m leaning towards Pro Action from my research. Progressive was never in the mix as most say they were once the “it” shock but the makers of the two I mentioned come from Baja racing backgrounds and I can see why they are getting rave reviews. The lifetime warranty from Pro Action is why I’m going in that direction.
I installed the RWD RS1 shocks and it’s been a 100% improvement over the stock H-D suspension.
We'll be releasing a Legends on this channel too. Already did the install. Just need to edit. Suspension will come down to your needs and personal preference. We have had GREAT luck with Progressive, which is why we carry it in our store. ==> shop.lawabidingbiker.com/collections/progressive-suspension-for-street-bikes

Thanks for watching!
Do you recommend the legend shocks in the back of a touring bike?
We've had guys run Legends. They liked them.
Had them on my vmax.junk
Uh........the link to the Progressive Suspension shocks ...........is not working
That's because Progressive suspension is back ordered everywhere. Supply chain issues. No timeline. Other exhaust is having problems too.
@@RyanUrlacher Thanks for the info - great channel Ryan, keep it up!
