The Burly Brand Stiletto 13" Black Shocks are a replacement suspension upgrade with a dual-stage high-performance damper and progressive springs. The 13-inch length and sleek black finish give these shocks a clean look that suits a custom build.
Riders choose these shocks for the way they handle road imperfections. The dual-stage damping absorbs bumps while keeping the ride controlled, and the progressive spring rate delivers plushness on small irregularities and added support when a larger hit arrives. The design is intended to enhance cornering stability and resist bottoming out, which adds confidence whether you are cruising city streets or riding twisty backroads.
Installing a set of shocks is a straightforward way to change how the bike feels underneath you. Before installation, it is good practice to verify wheel travel and frame clearance, especially if the motorcycle has other aftermarket modifications. Burly Brand Stiletto shocks are offered under part number B28-1251.

Awesome for tall sporty riders!
I love these shocks. My 1200 sportster had 11" progressive rear shocks on it when I bought it. I am 6'4" tall 270 lbs, I used to bottom out & it looked real small on me. My rear fender barely cleared the rear tire. Now it seems miles above it. I gained 4" clearance in the rear. Then pushed the front shocks 1/4" down the front tree. gaining me 1" extra clearance in the front (they protruded 3/4 above the top tree), I also have 6" bar risers. It looks like a completely different bike. just from rear shocks & turning a wrench, I never bottom out anymore & have decided I do not need a Road King. I love my big tall 1200 Sporty!
Great bang for the buck!
These are a great bang for your buck. Way better than the stock shocks. Easy to adjust and added 2 inches to the ride height. Look really good and get a lot of compliments on them. Supper easy install.
All around great shock
Very easy to install, did one at a time on my bike. They were almost the same size as the ones I had previously had on mine so it only took me like 15 mins to install. Perfect fit and bike looks a lot better now.
Great comfort!
I agree with all other reviews - these are really worth the money. Much comfier ride, no more shotgun shells into your spine on potholes.<br /><br />They raised the back of the bike by a couple of inches but worked alright with the stock side stand.
YES
My back has never thanked me more, no more spine shattering bump experiences!<br /><br />Installation was a breeze, just make sure to loc-tite and torque it down to specs.
