Featuring a unique ultra touring spring configuration, this shock provides the ride comfort and suspension travel of a 13-inch shock while maintaining a custom lowered appearance with an 11-inch ride height. The Ultra Low Series design sits approximately 2 inches lower than standard touring shocks, enhancing bike control and aesthetics without sacrificing performance. \u003cbr\u003eBuilt with Progressive Suspension's Frequency Sensing Technology (FST), these shocks automatically adjust damping in response to bump frequency, ensuring a smooth and stable ride across various road conditions. The shocks are high-pressure gas-charged for consistent damping performance and feature a sealed gear drive QPS upgrade kit, allowing quick and effortless preload adjustments without removing saddlebags. This upgrade maintains the full preload range of the original shocks, whether you're riding solo, with a passenger, or transitioning between riding configurations. \u003cbr\u003eThe 944 FST Ultra Touring shocks are available in three configurations: Standard (up to 250 lbs.), Heavy-duty (250 to 350 lbs.), and Super heavy-duty (over 350 lbs.), catering to different load requirements. The unique spring combination delivers a lower rider height both while riding and on the side stand, improving control at intersections and when parking. The preload can be adjusted manually without any special tools, thanks to progressive rate mainsprings specifically designed for touring models. These shocks are made in the USA and are ideal for riders seeking enhanced handling, lowered profile, and adaptable preload adjustments for various loads. Before installation, verify that your motorcycle's wheel travel can accommodate the shock length without clearance issues such as swingarm, axle, exhaust, or chain contact. This ensures optimal performance and safety after installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eUnique ultra touring spring configuration provides ride quality and suspension travel of a 13-inch shock with the lowered look of a 12-inch shock\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eUltra Low Series design sits 2 inches lower than stock touring shocks for improved control and aesthetics\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eQPS upgrade kit with sealed gear drive allows smooth, tool-free preload adjustments from 11-inch ride height\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eFrequency Sensing Technology (FST) automatically adjusts damping for superior ride quality across road conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eHigh-pressure gas-charged for consistent damping performance\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eAvailable in standard, heavy-duty, and super heavy-duty configurations to support various load requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eLower rider height while riding or on side stand enhances handling and parking control\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eManual preload adjustment without tools, utilizing progressive rate mainsprings designed for touring\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eMade in the USA, suitable for high-load applications exceeding manufacturer’s maximum load ratings\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eEnsure wheel travel clearance before installation to avoid contact issues with swingarm, exhaust, or tires\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PROGRESSIVE SUSPENSION","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45966918910149,"sku":"944-4019UL-QPS","price":1209.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0253\/7891\/4355\/files\/5561837.png?v=1773695765","url":"https:\/\/btqllc.com\/products\/progressive-suspension-944-series-shock-12-5-inch-with-ultra-low-qps-upgrade-for-touring-bikes","provider":"Bikes Trikes and Quads LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
