2 Thirty years ago a couple of guys that rode, raced and wrenched together decided there had to be a better solution to high performance suspension. They knew there was more potential in their bikes and understood; any money spent on motor, paint or accessories was meaningless without chassis control. With these beliefs, an unwavering work ethic and a passion for all things two wheeled Progressive Suspension was born and prospered. The mantra of ride quality still guides us today and everything we build is designed to make your motorcycle ride better, ride smoother and to let you ride longer. Two Thousand Twelve not only marks three decades of performance suspension, but a renewed focus on helping you find your suspension sweet spot. How are we doing that? Remote adjustable shocks for the Harley Softail, a chassis stabilizer for the late model baggers, monotube fork cartridges for the KLR650 and Goldwing as well as a total redesign of our venerable 440 Series shocks that creates a new standard for dynamic damping control. Need more? How about a high performance shock for the Kawasaki EX250 and 650? Maybe a complete suspension system for Polaris s three wheel game changing Spyder? Speaking of three wheels, we ve even created a package for the Harley Tri Glide that transforms the mushy front end and driveway dragging rear into a mile eating touring monster. Take a look at the pages to follow, were sure you ll find something that will make your bike a better fit, a better machine and just maybe let you Ride More. Ride More David Shirley President 1 2

5 High Pressure Gas Monotube Threaded Preload Adjuster Deflective Disc Damping Hard Anodized Internal Coating Adjustable Compression Damping Lifetime Limited Warranty and Rebuildable Dyna, XR1200, Sportster & Triumph Thruxton Applications (more on the way) Frequency Sensing Technology (FST), Allows the shocks to sense the frequency of a bump and automatically adjust damping for superior ride quality Adjust spring pre-load by hand, no special tool needed Progressive Rate Main springs specifically designed for touring High Pressure gas charged for consistent performance Lifetime Limited Warranty and Made in USA! MSRP USD $ MSRP USD $ Inspired by racers, riders and those that demand more of their bikes than weekend coffee runs. The built in the USA 970 Series shocks combine a high pressure gas monotube design with deflective disc damping routed through two unique circuits and adjustable for compression damping via an easily accessible knob. Built around our all new Frequency Sensing Technology (FST), and wrapped in a state of the art set of springs that allows your bagger to sit lower than stock, but retain the full down travel of a factory set up! The 944 Series combines a progressive rate main spring with a flat wire compensator spring that compresses under the weight of the bike, but readily extends when needed to allow for full droop travel. The result is a bike with a 1 lowered height that rides better than a stocker! Tune to your riding style and pin the throttle. 7 8

MSRP USD $ Our suspension system for the venerable Softail style chassis is exclusively available as an adjustable ride height version. Progressive Suspension was the first to introduce aftermarket shocks for the most popular frame design ever produced and we continue to refine our work. Two inches of ride height adjustment as well as adjustable for spring preload to accommodate varying loads and rider weights, all wrapped in a chrome shroud and now available in a HEAVY DUTY version for two-up or heavily loaded bikes!. The Softail chassis has long been a challenge to set up. The shocks are hidden under the frame which makes common adjustments difficult. Not anymore! Our engineering team over at Progressive have come up with a clever solution. We call it RAP (or Remote Adjustable Preload) and it combines our high performance shocks with a remote preload adjuster. Conveniently located behind the left passenger peg, the RAP system allows for easy tuning of the shocks to account for changing loads or the addition of a passenger. Packing a lot of gear for a big ride? Give the knob a few turns and the bike is set. Riding solo? A few rotations the other direction softens things up

16 Available in STANDARD or HEAVY DUTY Progressive rate Stock height or lowered Lowered height kits included 1 & 2 drop parts Simple DROP-IN TM installation! Up to 2 of height reduction No special tools required MSRP FROM USD $ Precision wound - Lifetime warranty Stock height: From MSRP USD $ Lowered: MSRP USD $ The Original Progressive Rate Fork Springs soak up the small road bumps, yet are firm enough to absorb the molar-rattling ones. Spring rates have been chosen to reduce front end dive during braking, yet still provide excellent ride comfort. Better yet, we warranty our fork springs for life! Progressive Rate Fork Springs have several advantages over straight rate springs. A straight rate spring only offers linear resistance to compression and is a compromise. For example, if you have a 20lb straight rate spring, it will take 20lbs of force to compress the spring one inch. It will take 20 more lbs of force to compress it the next inch, and so on, until the end of the travel. A Progressive Rate Spring has the advantage of a rising rate resistance to compression. Forget everything you know about lowering motorcycle front ends, Progressive Suspension has just completely changed the game! Our new DROP-IN fork Lowering Kits have transformed a once messy, and time consuming install into a cake walk. Pull up to two inches out of the front end of your bike without the hassle of disassembling the forks or even changing out the oil and the whole process can be done with basic tools. Shorter springs and Progressive s new secondary compensation spring make short work of the formerly complicated act of lowering your front end For example, a 15lb - 25lb Progressive Rate Spring will take 15lbs to compress it the first inch, 17lbs more the next inch, and so on, until the end of the travel, taking 25lbs more to compress it the last inch. The benefit of this is that the spring can be soft enough at the start of the travel to offer a plush ride, yet be firm enough at the end of the travel to soak up the big bumps. * WARNING! Installing a lowering kit WILL decrease initial ground clearance. The motorcycle will be lower to the ground and care should be taken to avoid bottoming, especially over bumps or in turns. To maintain proper balanced geometry, we recommend lowering the motorcycle in the rear the same amount as the front.
