Install 944 Ultra Touring Progressive Shocks on a Harley Davidson | Adjust Sag
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 พ.ค. 2017
- Video-In this completely free DIY video we show you how to install Progressive shocks on a Harley-Davidson motorcycle. We used a set of Progressive 944 Ultra Touring shocks and installed them on a Harley Street Glide.
These Progressive shocks were specifically designed to deliver a comfortable ride at a 1" or 2" lowered stance. The 944 Ultra Touring shocks utilize all the suspension travel provided by their full-length units, but in a 1" lowered ride height. The unique Ultra Touring spring combination not only delivers a lowered ride height while it's being ridden, but also while it’s on the side stand. After we show you how to install the Progressive shocks, we'll show you exactly how to adjust the proper sag so you get the best ride!

Ryan, Nice job with the tech and explanation. My 2014 Street Glide has these 944's and I didn't know enough to be sure if they were an upgrade or the air-ride are a better feature. Thanks for your insights.
I've got a 2014 with the factory adjustable shocks. But I appreciate videos like this as they give you the same idea on how to replace them in the future.
Glad you liked the video. Thanks for taking time to comment.

Vanilla Gorilla just so you know shocks like these are vastly superior to the premium shocks that come on the Rushmore touring bikes like yours. In order for Harley to give the Road Glide and Street Glide that slammed look they basically shortened the shocks by an inch. Without including the rubber bump stop the travel is roughly an inch and a half which is why they bottom out so easily. The Progressive shocks with their compensator spring design let u order the 13 inch shock (as opposed to the stock 12 inch). You get 3 inches plus of travel AND maintain the STOCK ride height.
Another great video guys! Will come in very handy should my air shocks ever start leaking.
Thank you! Ride Safe & Ride Often!
I had to put mine on with the piston facing down or the bag would rub on the shock. To each their own. Riding a 2012 street glide drop frame kit, so that might be the reason. Good video
Thank you so much ! Very much a big help on adjustment and position. I wasn’t sure if I was installing upside down or not. I am a truck mechanic not a bike mechanic.
Glad it helped!

Hey ryan I put the hammock seat and now my feet dont fit squared. Wanna lower the bike an inch and a half. Is this a good set up for that pirpose
Good video guys, a question for you, the original stock air shocks are 13" you replaced it with a 12", do they make 11" as well. Let's say I buy another brand that does, will the rear bottom out after dropping it 2"? I ride alone no passengers.
NEXT TIME HAVEING ROD TRIP I LIKE T RIDE WITH YOU GUYS
Ryan, the only thing I would add is the horizontal alignment of the shock: Harley swingarms are not well squared to the frame and bolting the Progressives in there, despite their instructions stating you can, can destroy the shocks pretty quickly. I speak from experience: did the exact install and followed the manual. A mere 15K miles later the shocks were toast. When sending them in to Progressive they confirmed that the out-of aligment of the swingarm was what did them in. So when I reinstalled I used washers to fill the gap between bottom and top bolt on each side. Notable difference in performance and now, another 25K later, they are still great. Not saying you should always, but now your bike and don't let the shocks deal with forces they weren't built for.
Thanks for watching and commenting. Good info
I have a 2007 Ultra Classic and need to replace the rear shocks. How do I determine the length I need (perfect height now)? I weigh 185 lbs and carry a 130 lbs wife with about 15-20 lbs of cargo. Thinking about the 444 or the 944. Any suggestions?
Is this best shock for road king special? Better then olnins?
Ryan, thanks for all the good info you offer. I have purchased a few of your videos and they were very helpful. I would like to know how has the ride been since you guys installed the 944's?????? I am seriously thinking of getting them next month.
Give us an update on them if you could
thanks Danny
The guy that owns the bike loves them. No complaints.

Ryan, i have these on my 19 SG. so if you set the preload to say one bar your compressing the spring therefore the bike goes lower?
Can you change the springs on these? I have the heavy duty for two up but when I ride solo it rides too rough
great video... thumbs up
thx much.

How about Yelvington
I changed out the suspension on my 2015 Sportster, I did both the forks and rear and it made a world of difference. I have a 2015 Street Glide Special now the same color as Ryan's I want to change out the suspension on it as well but I feel installing the Fork Monotube kit might be beyond my abilities. The rear is as about a simple upgrade as you can do but the forks are a bit involved and I want to add the chrome kit at the same time. The fork monotone kit is worth the upgrade it got rid of that spongy soft ride on my Sportster and it made a huge difference in the handling in the corners and no more front end dive when breaking.
We hope to do a front suspension video in the near future.

Hey Ryan , will the 944 give me a softer ride ? The stock air shocks are terrible on the passenger on my 2015 Road King. Love the videos keep them coming.
Yah, I agree with you on those stupid air shocks. Glad they are not using them much anymore. I think you'd be much happier with the 944's.
And...
I am planing to buy 107 road king and wanted to make custom color all of the body so dont need roadking special but only what i am really want is i want 117 not 114.. i know i can do 107 to 114 biut do you think i can do 107 to 117 one step as same or little more price? And i want use bassani full exhaust is it possible or i should use streaming eagle?
I have 944. What is the numbers for heavy duty... numbers for regular..??..??
Ryan, I have a question. 1st I wanna say you videos are awesome and informative keep'em coming. 2and, my question: I bought a 2019 SGS last year and I want to upgrade my rear shocks. I want to go with the 944's but I'm a 200lb rider and GF is around 150 would you recommend the standard or should I go standard/heavy duty? Thanks she goes on the weekends with me and I'm looking for something I don't have to adjust everytime she wants to ride.
They have 3 choices Standard under 250 lbs Heavy duty 250 to 350 lbs and Super Heavy duty over 350 lbs I weigh 225 and i am going with Heavy duty I figure if I have a passenger on that will be fine
I would have to move the bottom of that shock back 3 holes on a lowering kit so that I could touch the ground, I'm 5'7, 320lbs, and my inseam is 26 inches, I'm contemplating Burley 10.5 slammers, what are your thoughts on this, can they be adjusted for decent ride comfort ?
Are these upside down? Most examples I have seen show them flipped. Including the video from Proggressive
New legs for my HOG...nice video my friend! Thanks for the pro instructions
#patreon
I own a 2013 Street Glide
great video Ryan will you be reviewing the shock performance? and will you be doing a insulation video on upgrading the front fork shocks ? witch will be a great upgrade improvement the Street Glide 103. I know with your video I would be able to install a set of front fork shock . keep up the great work. Alex from the Rockaways NYC.
Here is the response from PopEye......from our Patron Member Only Private Facebook Group. He has been running them for about 6 months.
This video was shot on my bike. I've had them on for several thousand miles now and I am very happy with these shocks. Easily adjustable and better than stock ride. - PopEye

Thanks for the VIdeo. What do you guy´s think about the 444 progressive´s ?? I´ve heard good things about them but I´d like to hear more if you guy´s have any experience. Thanks in advance.
We did a video on this channel on the 444's
Something we should know it the total Sag also is intended to include and sag that occurs when you set the full weight bike back on the rear tire, then have the load applied to measure for your target sag. Kinda strange to see use of an impact driver on the jack..I was waiting for a referee to jump in an call "unnecessary roughness" call you guys!
Curious if the owner ever had any issues adjusting the shocks. Mine are about a year old and cannot adjust them. Using both hands someone on and off the bike. Cannot adjust shocks. Progressive will looks at them but want the shocks for 3 months at the beginning of rising season. Ever heard of this before??
I'm really very curious about the 900 series. I love the legend and other fancy brands but I just feel I should not have to spend so much to get a smooth ride in the city, better turning and no bottoming out over the Stock Street Glide Air. What's your long term experience with these? Thinking about a progressive front kit as well.
Check out super shox
I love your videos. However, you forgot the blue loctite on the bolts, per the instructions. I love my 944 shocks.
Glad you liked the video. We often don't use thread lock. Each to their own. Ride safe!
I have a 2007 Electra Glide Classic I bought used... it has the air shocks... noticed fluid leaking onto wheel yesterday... will these exact shocks work on my bike? I weigh 215, rarely have anything in bags...
For all fitment and details, visit our store ==> shop.lawabidingbiker.com/collections/progressive-suspension-for-street-bikes
So you put the adjuster on the bottom, is that per instructions? Will these shocks lower a Ultra Classic.
We put them on per the instructions. They are for the Street Glide, so I assume they will lower and Ultra by one inch. I would suggest contacting Progressive and seeking their input.

Ryan Urlacher Thanks. Keep up the great work.
So I ride with my wife 280 + 160 + full saddle bags and trunk and trailer. On a 99 Road King Classic. What shock do I need, the ultra or the heavy Duty?
Depends on your weight, luggage weight, passenger or not etc. Info here in our store ==> shop.lawabidingbiker.com/collections/progressive-suspension-for-street-bikes
Is it your option these are the best touring shocks on the market, do you consider them superior to the new upgraded shocks on the 2017 Street Glide
The are a great option for bikes with air adjustable shocks. The upgraded shocks on the new bikes are good. No need to change.

Thank you.
wouldnt sag be adjusted by the rate of the spring ? when you adjust the shock the way you are it adjusts the ride height . yes it sits lower when the rider is on it but it sits lower when the bike is empty too by the same amount . also if your adjusting the jack to put shocks on side to side the alignment of the bike needs attention before you kill those super expensive shocks . your making one work harder than the other
Hey Ryan why the 944,on the street glide, and not the 440
That's what he wanted and purchased. As with most things, it's going to be rider preference.
How do we factor in the weight of the saddlebags and their contents? As well as the passenger. You doing a great job of instructing a basic shock install. But we all know there more to it. Progressive 444 shocks
That's why you set your sag with the weight you'll be carrying.
So we bundle up all the gear in the saddle bags and hold it while someone measure the sag? What about the weight of the saddle bags too?
You should turn them around. Thats from progressive
Something wrong, you put the shocks upside down :) See it on prograsive page itself.
Ryan, Progressive themselves, show the adjuster at the top. Why do you recomend the opposite way???
They can go on either way. Just be aware of clock-direction for adjusting, as not to turn the bell th e wrong direction
Very disappointed, just installed these on my 14 SGS to make it ride smoother because the stock shocks gave such a harsh ride. The shop tech said they take 500 miles to “break in” I don’t believe it. What do you say? The bike rides so harsh I’m seriously considering just selling the bike. I bought the SGS to do long road trips but I can’t ride this thing more than 30 minutes and my back and butt are killing me.
Did you buy the stiffer ones? There are two versions.
Ryan Urlacher Hi, I bought the Progressive 944 Ultras I told the shop technician I was wanting a recommendation for shocks to give me the smoothest/softest ride.
Ryan Urlacher The receipt doesn’t say which version just 944 Ultra Touring but I’m guessing that they are the heavy duty ones instead of standard.
@@JoaquinChea hey i think the ultra ones are for people over 300lbs, sounds like they gave u the wrong ones
david buchanan Thanks for the reply, I’ve decided to sell the bike I’m frustrated and tired of trying to make it work for me already spent too much money trying to fix it.
This bike is only suited for riding around town on smooth streets.
They are just as ruff as stock
