The Ohlins STX 36 Blackline rear shock pair for Harley-Davidson FL Touring models is built to improve control and ride quality while keeping a classic look. Designed as a twin-shock rear upgrade, it suits riders chasing more consistent damping on real-world roads. This set offers external adjustments so you can tailor the feel for load, pace and surface conditions.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins suspension is developed with a focus on predictable damping behaviour and repeatable tuning. The Blackline finish is aimed at Harley-Davidson builds where performance needs to integrate with a darker, understated aesthetic.

Who this shock is for

  • Harley-Davidson FL Touring riders wanting a rear suspension upgrade with a factory-like appearance.
  • Owners who carry luggage or a passenger and need adjustment range to maintain stability and comfort.
  • Riders who want a more controlled rear end over bumps and through longer sweepers.

Shock design & features

This is a twin rear shock set from the Ohlins STX 36 Blackline family. It uses an emulsion-style layout rather than an external reservoir, prioritising a clean installation and straightforward packaging on touring Harley fitments.

Tuning controls

  • Rebound damping adjustment
  • Compression damping adjustment
  • Spring preload adjustment

Before you install

  • Confirm fitment for your exact Harley-Davidson FL Touring model and year.
  • Set spring preload for your normal load (solo, luggage, two-up) before fine-tuning damping.
  • After installation, re-check fasteners and clearances after the first ride.

Serviceability/lifecycle

Ohlins shocks are designed to be serviced to maintain damping performance over time. Routine inspection and periodic servicing help keep the shocks working consistently, especially on high-mileage touring use.
