Ohlins 88-18 Harley-Davidson FL Touring STX 36 Twin Shock Absorber

If you're looking to significantly improve the ride quality and handling of your 1988-2018 Harley-Davidson FL Touring model, the Ohlins STX 36 Twin Shock Absorber set is a top-tier choice. These aren't just replacements; they're a substantial upgrade designed to give you a more controlled and comfortable ride, whether you're cruising down the highway or navigating less-than-perfect roads. Ohlins is well-known for its performance suspension, and this set brings that expertise to your Harley.

The STX 36 features a robust monotube design with a 36mm piston, built with precision CNC-machined components that are hard anodized for durability. This construction helps ensure consistent performance and longevity. Inside, a low-friction shaft and seal head design minimizes drag, allowing the shock to react quickly to changes in the road surface. A high-pressure nitrogen gas charge further aids in maintaining consistent damping characteristics, preventing fade even during extended use. You get full adjustability here: rebound damping can be tuned to your preference, the length can be adjusted by up to 1/2 inch to fine-tune your bike's stance and geometry, and the spring preload is easily set using the included pin tool, with multiple spring rate options available to match your riding style and load.

This set is sold as a pair, ensuring both sides of your motorcycle are equipped with Ohlins performance. While these shocks offer a significant improvement out of the box, remember that proper setup and adjustment are key to unlocking their full potential. Refer to the Ohlins installation manual for detailed instructions on setting rebound, length, and preload to best suit your specific riding needs and conditions.
