The Ohlins HD514 STX 46 Custom & Heritage rear shock is built for Harley-Davidson Softail models where ride control and classic styling both matter. It is designed to improve stability and comfort without changing the character of a custom or heritage-inspired build. This unit is supplied as a rear shock application.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins suspension is engineered around consistent damping behaviour and reliable adjustment. The STX 46 Custom & Heritage range focuses on controlled performance in a package suited to cruiser and custom applications.

Who this shock is for

Suited to riders who want a more composed, settled rear end on a Softail for everyday road riding and touring. It is also a sensible choice for owners refreshing a worn original shock while keeping a traditional look and feel.

Shock design & features

This STX 46 Custom & Heritage rear shock uses an oil/gas separated damping layout to help maintain damping consistency. It is a single rear shock unit supplied with a fitted spring.

Tuning controls

  • Rebound damping adjustment to tailor how quickly the shock extends after a bump
  • Spring preload adjustment to set ride height and support for load and riding style

Before you install

  • Confirm fitment for your exact Softail model and year, and note this unit replaces HD 504
  • Set sag and preload with the bike at typical riding load before fine-tuning rebound
  • Inspect mounting hardware and bushings during installation

Serviceability/lifecycle

Ohlins shocks are designed to be serviced to maintain performance over time. Routine inspection and periodic oil service will help keep damping consistent and extend component life.
