The Ohlins HD141 is an STX 36 twin rear shock set developed for Harley-Davidson Sportster XL models. It’s built to improve chassis control and consistency by delivering more stable damping through a gas-separated design. This helps keep response predictable across changing road conditions and longer rides.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins suspension is designed with a focus on damping quality, repeatability and service life. The STX 36 platform is a proven architecture for riders who want a more controlled rear end without losing ride comfort.

Shock design & features

  • STX 36 twin rear shocks for twin-shock Harley-Davidson applications
  • Gas-separated internal design to help reduce fade and maintain damping consistency
  • Built as a serviceable unit for long-term ownership

Who this shock is for

  • Sportster XL riders wanting improved stability and rear-end control over standard suspension
  • Owners who value consistent damping feel for spirited road riding
  • Riders who prefer a tuneable, serviceable shock rather than a sealed replacement

Before you install

  • Confirm fitment for your exact Sportster XL model and year, and check clearance with any aftermarket exhaust or accessories
  • Set sag and preload correctly before chasing damping changes

Serviceability/lifecycle

These shocks are designed to be maintained over time. Regular servicing helps keep damping consistent and protects internal wear components, especially if the bike is ridden hard or in harsh conditions.
