Great shocks
Lowered my bike perfectly and the ride is smooth.
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.
Give your Harley Sportster XL that aggressive, lowered stance with Burly Brand Slammer Plus chrome rear shocks. These 11.5-inch shocks feature a progressive dual-spring setup and high-pressure gas charging, delivering a 10.5-inch ride height while maintaining nearly two inches of suspension travel for a smoother ride. All mounting hardware is included for a complete upgrade.
The Burly Brand Slammer Plus shocks are engineered to give your Harley Sportster XL a dramatically lowered profile without sacrificing ride quality. At 11.5 inches overall length, these chrome shocks drop your bike to an aggressive 10.5-inch ride height. What sets them apart is the sophisticated internal design: a progressive dual-spring system with a flat wire coupling, combined with high-pressure gas-charged damping. This combination ensures that even with a slammed stance, your Sportster maintains nearly two inches of usable suspension travel, providing a more controlled and comfortable experience than standard lowered shocks.
Transforming your Sportster's look with shorter shocks is a popular modification, and the Slammer Plus shocks make it achievable with improved performance. Remember that these shocks are a different length than OEM units, so it's crucial to verify wheel travel and chassis clearance before and after installation. This ensures that your tire doesn't make contact with the fender or other components under full compression, guaranteeing a safe and enjoyable ride with your new aggressive stance.
How much lower will my Sportster sit with these shocks?
These Slammer Plus shocks will lower your Sportster XL to an approximate 10.5-inch ride height, which is roughly 1.5 inches lower than many stock Sportster shocks.
Do I need to modify my frame or fender?
It's crucial to check clearance and wheel travel capabilities on your specific Sportster model before and after installation, as these shocks are shorter than OEM units.
Are these shocks compatible with other Sportster lowering kits?
These shocks provide a significant drop on their own. Combining them with other lowering kits may result in insufficient clearance and is not recommended without extensive custom fabrication.

Lowered my bike perfectly and the ride is smooth.
Awesome shocks. It lowered my Sportster ''72'' and it rides great. Not harsh in any way.
Love the shocks! Installed in less than an hour. Ride feels and handles about the same. Lowered the bike about 2 inches. Rode myself and with a passenger and does not bottom out or rub.
Easy to install
