FAR - Progressive Suspensions

FAR - Progressive Suspensions
There are many lowering shocks for touring bikes on the market. Unfortunately many are sacrifying the suspension travel, so the ride comfort.

Our shocks are designed for performance-oriented twin-shock bikes and feature piggyback reservoirs, a high pressure gas charge and deflective disc valving, all packaged in a mono-tube style body.

Progressive-rate springs, threaded preload adjustment and external compression adjustment knob allow for fine tuning to suit rider weight and riding style.
Built around Progressive IAS technology, a Secondary Spring allows both full droop travel and lowered stance for all Harley-davidson models from 1980 to present. Both the shock body and the external piggyback coated internally to reduce friction and are capped with a forged aluminum upper.

The shocks came with a special adjustment tool since don’t work with the standard spanner wrench. You will need to adjust them depending on the amount of luggage you have on board and if you have a passenger.

They are available in stock and varies lengths depend on bike. All length is measured center eye to eye.
The shocks worked fantastic. Bumps are no longer a concern to me or my passenger. The ride feels more responsive in the corners and I haven’t been wearing the kidney belt!
