Frequently Asked Questions

Will these fit my 1991-2003 Sportster?

No — these shocks are engineered for the 2004-2020 Sportster XL frame. Earlier Sportsters require a different shock.

Do I need to install these myself or can a shop handle it?

Shock installation requires suspension work and wheel removal. Most riders have a shop install them to ensure proper setup and alignment.

What makes Ohlins different from stock Sportster shocks?

Ohlins designs each shock for specific frame geometry, offering better damping control, reduced harshness, and improved cornering stability compared to OEM units.

Will these lower or raise my Sportster?

Check the Ohlins spec sheet for ride height details — shock selection can affect seat height slightly depending on the model chosen.
