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.
The Ohlins STX 36 Blackline rear shocks are engineered to deliver responsive damping and improved ride comfort for Harley-Davidson Touring models. This twin-shock setup is designed to replace factory units, reducing harsh impacts and maintaining superior control. Experience a more confident and comfortable ride on your V-twin.
Long rides on a Harley Touring bike demand a suspension system that can handle varied road conditions without sacrificing comfort. The Ohlins STX 36 Blackline shocks provide a significant upgrade, offering a more controlled and plush ride compared to stock. Their design focuses on absorbing road imperfections while ensuring your bike remains stable and predictable, even when loaded down with gear or a passenger.
These Ohlins STX 36 Blackline rear shocks are a direct bolt-on replacement for your factory units on Harley Touring models, requiring no frame modifications. While they come pre-set for general street touring use, the ability to fine-tune damping allows you to personalize the ride to your preference – whether you desire a firmer, sportier feel or a softer, more compliant ride. This adaptability ensures your Harley performs optimally for your specific riding style.
Will these Ohlins shocks fit my 2023 or newer Harley-Davidson Touring model?
No, this specific part number for the Ohlins STX 36 Blackline shocks is designed for 2006-2022 Harley-Davidson Touring models. 2023 and newer Touring bikes feature different mounting geometry.
Do I need to make damping adjustments after installing these shocks?
Ohlins shocks are typically pre-set for general street touring. However, you can fine-tune the damping to achieve a firmer or softer response based on your personal preference and riding conditions.
Are these shocks a direct bolt-on replacement for my factory units?
Yes, these Ohlins STX 36 Blackline shocks are designed to be a direct bolt-on replacement for the factory shocks on compatible Harley-Davidson Touring models, requiring no frame modifications.

Very happy with the performance of this shock. Massive improvement over stock. Will likely do Ohlins up front this winter.
Really easy to replace. There was no instruction on which side the socks went on, but the oil port faces the rear of the bike. Initially I thought the ride difference was subtle as I was trying to notice a difference. Took a 5 hour ride this past weekend and what a difference! My lower back didn't hurt, huge improvement in ride quality, can lean further into turns. Now I have to do the fronts!
Installed them definitely a much better shock than stock ones. Had to use straps to compress them for install. Yet to go for ride can't wait for weather warm up.
I just installed the new shocks. I only took the bike for a short ride due to the weather but there is a difference thank you sorry for a delay getting back to you
Excellent ride quality. Wife approved!
