Best thing I ever did
I had these put on my 2016 RG by Ohlin out in Sturgis 2018 at the Rapid City Harley Davidson Dealership. They asked alot of questions regarding riding style, how much two up riding as opposed to solo, rider weight, and combined rider weight, etc.. They set these shocks up specifically for my riding style. They were very detailed in showing me how to adjust rebound, height, etc. They wanted to make sure I knew how, when, and what situations I would make these adjustments before I left. Last set of shocks I'll ever have to buy. Fully rebuildable for $200...if needed after 25k miles send then in...3 day turn around. Last shock I'll ever have to buy! Love em!
Mind is blown.
Unbelievable comfort, handling and performance. From someone with a super bad back. I can't believe I was stupid enough to suffer with stock suspension for so long. I should have bought these years ago. Worth every penny and then some. The best suspension I have experienced on any motorcycle or vehicle period bar none. Bumps that once made your fillings fall out are now a distant memory . Buy them. Very impressive. Wow. Like holy crap.just get them. What are you waiting for?
Must have
This changed my whole riding experience. It's a must have.
Should have done this first
Have about 5000 miles on them currently and I'm loving the ride. Made very minor adjustment for sag, and the wife is super happy as well, when she jumps on, it 3 clicks and ready to roll. Fully loaded and 2 up it 5 clicks. And smooth as butter. Just need to do the fronts now. I have 2015 roadglide special. 6'2" 260lbs
Consumable Item
I purchased these in 2017 and my wife and I both noticed an incredible improvement over stock. we were super happy with them until about a month ago. We had them dialed in with riding two up and never changed it but now they are super bouncy and it makes for a really unpleasant ride.<br /><br />It's most likely the seals which Ohlins only has a 1 year warranty on and a local shock quoted me $250 each to rebuild them...<br /><br />great ride, just plan on replacing them or refurbishing them every few years
Still better than stock, but still now wow factor
Very nice looking and well constructed shocks. Nice features and fit and finish. However, they're not worth the price tag. While they are better than stock, I didn't get that wow factor when I 1st hit the road. I did follow the setup guidelines for my weight. For $700 yes, but not over $1000.
Highly recommend
I?ve had 2 back surgeries in 2 years and these shocks make a huge difference
Great Shocks
These shocks made a big difference in the ride of my 2018 FLHXS. The stock OEM shocks rode too stiff no matter how I adjusted the pre-load.
Ohlins suspension
Totally transformed the ride and control! I wanted the sleeper look on my bike for performance and suspension so without remote reservoir this was the very best choice. Precise control and superior performance can be had.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
Definitely worth the money!!!
Still on the fence
This will be the 1st set of Ohlins shocks for me on a Harley. I've had numerous of them on dirtbikes. Im still working out the fine tuning. The biggest difference is how my bike corners.
Your butt and back will thank you.
Massive improvement in comfort and ride quality to say the least. I also did my forks (parts purchased through the dealership) and it's like a whole different bike. I can't believe I didn't do this sooner. It's like night and day.
Best money I've spent on the bike so far. Only regret is that i rode all those miles without them.
Made in Taiwan
I ordered these and never put them on. I was very disappointed to see that they were made in Tawain.<br />No thanks.
REAR SHOCKS
THEY SEEM TO BE A BIG IMPROVEMENT OVER THE STOCK SHOCKS. I AM HAVING A HARD TIME FINDING THE CORRECT ADJUTEMNT FOR MY RIDING STYLE & I DO NOT LIKE THE FACT THAT I HAVE TO RE-ADJUST THEM EVERYTIME I GO FROM RIDING SINGLE TO RIDING WITH A PASSENGER & VISE-VERSA
Great buy
Rides like a dream, went from feeling every bump in the road to a smooth ride with the performance I needed.
Awesome
Great upgrade from factory shocks
A noticeable difference especially with the front cartridges no more being kicked up and no more sharp jars that you feel in the handlebars
Ohlins shocks for my 2023 FLHXST
A world of improvement over the HD stock springs. Easy install instructions.
Got here fast. In great condition like you'd expect for something new. Looking forward to putting them on my bike.
Looking forward to a more comfortable ride, and a great gift idea for that special someone!!
