The Ohlins HD754 STX 36 Blackline rear shock pair is designed for Harley-Davidson Sportster XL models needing improved control and consistency from a twin-shock setup. Built around Ohlins damping know-how, it suits riders who want a more composed rear end without moving away from a classic look. This is an emulsion-style shock design.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins suspension units are developed with a focus on damping quality, repeatability and service life. The STX 36 Blackline family is aimed at custom and Harley applications where performance needs to integrate cleanly with traditional styling.

Who this shock is for

  • Sportster XL riders wanting a more controlled ride over rough surfaces and during braking/acceleration transitions
  • Custom builds where a black finish and twin-shock layout are part of the intended aesthetic
  • Owners who want tunability for load changes such as luggage or a passenger

Shock design & features

  • Rear twin-shock configuration supplied as a matched pair
  • STX 36 Blackline construction with a black spring and black finish
  • Emulsion architecture (oil and gas in the same main body)

Tuning controls

  • Spring preload adjustment to set ride height and support for different loads
  • Rebound damping adjustment to control return speed after bumps and weight transfer

Before you install

  • Confirm fitment for Harley-Davidson Sportster XL and rear twin-shock mounting
  • Set preload for your typical riding load before adjusting rebound
  • Any suspension changes should be checked for clearance through full travel

Serviceability/lifecycle

Ohlins units are intended to be maintained over time. Periodic servicing helps keep damping performance consistent and extends component life, especially on bikes used regularly or in harsh conditions.
