Common questions
Will this fork cartridge kit fit my 2017 or earlier Softail Fat model?
No, this Ohlins NIX 30 Street Fork Cartridge Kit is specifically designed for 2018-2022 Harley-Davidson Softail Fat models. Earlier Softail models require a different cartridge part number due to changes in fork design.
What additional components do I need to purchase separately for installation?
Springs, fork oil, and specialized installation tools are not included with this kit and must be purchased separately. Ohlins recommends using their specified springs and fork oil for optimal performance.
Does this kit require any modifications to my existing fork legs?
This is a drop-in cartridge upgrade designed to replace the internal components of your stock fork legs. While it requires disassembly of your forks, it does not typically involve permanent modifications to the fork tubes themselves.
