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 Sportster that slammed, aggressive look with Burly Brand Slammer 10.5-inch rear shocks. Engineered to drop your bike's ride height, these shocks deliver a custom stance without sacrificing ride quality.
These Slammer shocks are designed specifically for 1988-2003 Harley-Davidson Sportster models, offering a significant visual upgrade and a lower center of gravity. They are a direct bolt-on replacement, making the transformation straightforward for any rider.
Beyond aesthetics, Burly Brand Slammer shocks enhance your Sportster's handling by providing a firmer, more controlled ride. The preload adjustment allows you to optimize the spring rate for your specific setup, whether you're riding solo or two-up. Always verify clearance and wheel travel on your specific bike before installation, as these shocks are a different length than OEM units.
Will these shocks lower my Sportster?
Yes, these Burly Brand Slammer shocks measure 10.5 inches eye-to-eye, which is shorter than most OEM Sportster shocks and will lower your bike's rear ride height.
Are these shocks adjustable?
Yes, the preload on these Slammer shocks is adjustable, allowing you to fine-tune the spring rate and ride comfort to your preference.
Do I need to check anything before installing these?
It is crucial to verify suspension clearance and wheel travel on your specific Sportster model before and after installation, as a shorter shock length can affect ride geometry and ground clearance.

Before installing the shocks I was concerned that the ride might be too stiff but these actually were a huge improvement over stock. My Sportster rides a lot smoother and the lower stance makes me feel more "planted" when I am stopped. The bike doesn't look like it is lowered to much but overall I am very happy with the upgrade.
Threw them on my 98 sportster and they worked great. Only took about 10 minutes to change them and it really lowers the bike. My girlfriend can flatfoot the bike at 4 11” . And yes there is enough room between the read fender and tire.
Easy to install and works well.
Fit perfect on my 2001 Sportster, helps me touch the ground flat 👍 great quality worth the money
Great fitment lowered my bike nicely and looks awesome. Very happy with the burley slammer shocks added bonus now my feet can touch the ground while sitting on my bike and a lot easier to hold it up and manuver it around.
Got these for my wifes sportster so she can touch the ground flat footed. I hope she likes them.
