Öhlins has built racing suspension in Sweden since 1976 and holds championships across MotoGP, World Superbike and off-road. Its Harley-Davidson touring and Softail shocks bring genuine road-race damping technology to bikes that left the factory heavily compromised on suspension travel and control.
Enhance the handling and ride compliance of your 1990-2013 Harley-Davidson Touring model with Ohlins STX 36 Twin Shocks. These shocks are engineered to deliver consistent damping control across varying road surfaces, providing a significant upgrade over stock components. Enjoy improved handling confidence with a direct bolt-on replacement that requires no modifications to your frame or swingarm.
For riders of 1990-2013 Harley-Davidson Touring models, the Ohlins STX 36 Twin Shocks offer a transformative upgrade. The factory suspension, while adequate, can often feel harsh or vague, especially when encountering imperfections in the road. These Ohlins shocks are precisely tuned to absorb bumps and maintain tire contact, translating to a smoother, more controlled ride. Experience less fatigue on long journeys and greater stability when pushing your bike through corners.
Upgrading to Ohlins STX 36 Twin Shocks is a crucial step for any rider looking to improve the performance of their Harley Touring. The enhanced damping characteristics not only provide comfort but also contribute significantly to the bike's overall stability and cornering ability. For a truly dialed-in ride, consider complementing these rear shocks with a front suspension upgrade, ensuring a balanced and high-performing chassis that responds predictably to every input.
Will these Ohlins STX 36 Twin Shocks fit my 2014 or newer Harley-Davidson Touring model?
No, this specific part number for the Ohlins STX 36 Twin Shocks is designed for 1990-2013 Harley-Davidson Touring models. 2014 and up Milwaukee-Eight Touring bikes require a different Ohlins shock specification.
Do I need new rear suspension bushings when I install these shocks?
It is recommended to inspect your existing suspension bushings for any signs of wear or damage. If they are in good condition, the new Ohlins shocks are designed to bolt directly in using the original mounting hardware. If they are worn, replacing them at the same time is a good idea.
How will these shocks change the handling of my Harley Touring?
These Ohlins STX 36 Twin Shocks will significantly improve handling by providing more consistent damping, better control over bumps, and increased stability. You'll experience a more planted feel, improved cornering confidence, and reduced wallowing compared to stock suspension.

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.
great product, I just wish they made them in 12-inch heavy duty
