Öhlins has built racing suspension in Sweden since 1976 and holds championships across MotoGP, World Superbike and off-road. Its Harley-Davidson touring and Softail shocks bring genuine road-race damping technology to bikes that left the factory heavily compromised on suspension travel and control.

Will these shocks fit my pre-2004 Sportster?
No, these Ohlins STX 36 Blackline shocks are specifically engineered for the 2004-2020 Sportster XL frame. Earlier Sportster models require a different shock setup.
Do I need to have these professionally installed?
Shock installation typically involves suspension disassembly and wheel removal. While skilled DIYers can tackle it, many riders prefer professional installation to ensure proper setup, alignment, and optimal performance.
How do Ohlins shocks compare to stock Sportster suspension?
Ohlins designs each shock for specific frame geometry, offering superior damping control, reduced harshness, and significantly improved cornering stability compared to factory Sportster shocks.
