You would think for $1500 you could get a nice mount. Nope. They want you to zip tie you $1500 shocks. You can buy a mount for $340 to$520 for 2 aluminum mounts. Ohlins best shocks out there. Might be true but if you have 2012 Ultra Limited or similar, get ready to put a bigger dent in the right side muffler so you can clearance the axle nut. And you can use the mounts they give you but they really suck ass for this aplication.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will these fit my 2014+ Milwaukee-Eight Touring?
No — this part is for 1990-2013 Touring models. 2014-up M8 Touring bikes require a different Ohlins shock specification.
Do I need new rear suspension bushings when I install these?
Inspect your existing bushings for wear. If they're in good condition, the new shocks bolt directly in using the original mounting points.
What's the ride quality difference from the factory shocks?
Ohlins shocks provide firmer, more controlled damping compared to stock, reducing dive under braking and squat under acceleration for improved handling.
Is professional installation required?
Installation is straightforward for experienced riders, but many shops recommend professional alignment after shock swap to dial in suspension geometry.
Are these adjustable for preload or compression?
Check your specific shock model number — some Ohlins configurations offer external adjustment, while others are fixed-tune. Contact Ohlins or your dealer for adjustment details on HD 357S2.
