Common questions
What is the benefit of 12-inch shocks compared to other lengths?

Will these shocks change the handling characteristics of my bike?
Yes, upgrading to these performance shocks will significantly improve handling, stability, and ride comfort compared to stock units, especially with their adjustability.
Are these shocks a direct bolt-on for Harley Touring models?
These shocks are designed as a direct replacement for Harley Touring models. Always confirm specific fitment for your year and model using our Shop by Bike tool before ordering.
