Frequently Asked Questions

Will these fit my Sportster 1200 or 883?

This part is specific to XL-frame Sportster models from 2004-2020. Earlier Sportster generations use different suspension geometry.

Do I need new mounting brackets?

These are direct replacements that use existing Sportster XL shock mounts — no new brackets required.

What's the weight difference compared to OEM shocks?

At 9.8 lb per pair, Ohlins shocks are engineered for performance. Compare against your current shock weight to assess any handling changes.

Is installation a DIY job or should I use a shop?

Shock replacement requires suspension geometry knowledge and proper tools. Professional installation is recommended to ensure correct preload and damping setup.
