Frequently Asked Questions

Are these shocks sold as a pair?

Yes — the Ohlins STX 36 ships as a complete pair ready to bolt onto both sides of your Sportster.

Can I adjust the ride height?

Yes — the 1/2 inch length adjustment allows you to raise or lower the rear end slightly without changing spring rates.

What adjustments can I make?

You can dial in rebound damping, preload (via the included pin tool), and length. Multiple spring rate options are available.

Will these fit my 2021+ Sportster S?

No — this part is specific to 2004-2020 Sportster XL models. The Sportster S uses a different frame and suspension geometry.

Do I need professional installation?

Installation requires basic tools and knowledge of suspension work. Many riders have shocks installed at a qualified Harley shop.

Should have bought sooner

I put these shocks on my 2008 Sportster. Raised the back end two inches. Best decision I've made. The ride is incredible. Not only does it ride smooth, but now it dips and leans SO much better than before. Gonna do the same to my other motorcycles.<br /><br />It was incredibly easy, too.

Ohlin suspension for sportster

Night and day difference compared to stock, very simple shock with big benefits . Can’t beat the bang for buck either for what you get . Highly recommended

Worth the money

Used to run 412s and I will never not spend the money on quality suspension. Having the lighter duty option for me as a rider at 170lbs has made all of the difference riding solo or 2 up. It?s like riding on a cloud but still feels confidence inspiring in corners. Phenomenal shocks
