Burly Brand builds handlebars, suspension, seats and bolt-on kits aimed at the rider doing the work in their own garage. Its slammer and stiletto shock kits and bar kits are designed as complete, no-guesswork packages rather than loose parts.
Achieve that aggressive, slammed stance on your Sportster XL without sacrificing all your suspension's capability. Burly Brand's Slammer Plus 11.5" black shocks are engineered to lower your bike while providing nearly two inches of controlled suspension travel.
These Burly Brand Slammer Plus shocks feature a stealthy black finish and are designed specifically for Harley-Davidson Sportster XL models. The dual-spring design, combining a flat wire spring with a progressive main spring, works to absorb road imperfections and resist bottoming out. A high-pressure gas-charged damper ensures consistent performance and a smooth, controlled ride, even at a reduced seat height.
The Slammer Plus shocks not only give your Sportster XL a custom, low-slung look but also enhance its handling characteristics. While these shocks lower your bike, the internal engineering aims to maintain a comfortable ride. Always verify wheel clearance and suspension travel carefully before installation, especially if your Sportster has other custom modifications that could affect clearance.
Will these shocks fit my 2004-2022 Sportster XL?
Yes, these Burly Brand Slammer Plus shocks are designed for 2004-2022 Harley-Davidson Sportster XL models. Always use our Shop by Bike tool to confirm exact fitment for your specific year and model.
How much lower will these shocks make my Sportster?
These Slammer Plus shocks are engineered to settle your Sportster to an approximate 10.5-inch ride height. The final height can vary slightly based on rider weight and how you set the spring preload.
Do I need to check anything before installing these?
It's always critical to check wheel clearance and suspension travel before riding with any new shocks, especially those that change your ride height. Verify that there's no interference with other components.

Thanks to Stuart Fillingham's YouTube video, I bought these. Couldn't be happier. A bit heavier than I expected but that just goes to the ruggedness of these panniers.
The style is awesome! Love the relaxed look with all the trim to make them classy too. Easy to get in and out of...really like the flip fully open and the finger hole snaps.<br />Great bag, perfect size for the HD Street 750!
The Dark Oak canvas bags fit my Olive Gold Harley Slim S great! The fit and finish add that nostalgic look to an already classy bike. They are a bit small, but I didn't need to move my signals to make them fit, though plate relocation would be required had I not already moved it. They are a great addition and I can't wait to show them off.
the snaps break to easy not impressed with this bag at all
I sent them back. They looked nice, but they were too small for my application
Styling looks excellent. Build quality looks good, but there are definitey gaps in the lid closures where the rain can get in. The buckle snaps are easy to open and close but the tend to come unsnapped from just normal freeway riding speeds. The bags still stay closed because of the strong clips,, but the cool-loking bucklet snap come open. Would I but them again... probably. I might look at the black ones for better weather proofing. The olive onmes do looks fantastic, though, on my flat black T100. Very easy to take off and put on; takes only a couple of minutes. I used a universal rack assembly.
