Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to check anything before installing these shocks?

Yes — verify suspension clearance and wheel travel on your specific bike. Different shock length than factory affects ride geometry and ground clearance.

Are these adjustable?

Yes. Preload is adjustable to dial in your preferred spring rate and ride height.

Will these fit my 2004+ Sportster?

No — this part is for 1988-2003 Sportster XL only. 2004 and newer Sportsters use different rear suspension geometry.

What color options are available?

Black and chrome finishes.

Great Product

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.
