The Ohlins STX 36 Blackline rear shock pair is designed for Harley-Davidson FL Touring models, including Road King, Street Glide and Electra Glide. Built around Ohlins damping know-how with a classic Blackline finish, it aims to improve control and ride quality on real roads. This is a matched twin-shock set for the rear of the motorcycle, intended to be tuned to suit rider, luggage and pillion use.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins suspension is developed with a focus on consistent damping behaviour and predictable feedback. The STX 36 Blackline range pairs modern internal design with a timeless look that suits heritage and custom styling.

Who this shock is for

Ideal for riders who want more stability and composure from their FL Touring chassis without losing the character of a twin-shock rear end. It suits everyday cruising, longer touring days, and bikes that regularly see changing loads.

Shock design & features

This STX 36 twin-shock set uses a monotube emulsion-style architecture. It’s intended to deliver controlled damping performance in a compact rear shock format, finished in Blackline to match darker builds.

Tuning controls

  • Rebound damping adjustment to manage how quickly the rear returns after bumps and weight transfers
  • Spring preload adjustment to set ride height and support for rider, luggage and pillion

Before you install

  • Confirm compatibility with your Harley-Davidson FL Touring model and current setup before fitting.
  • After installation, set preload first, then fine-tune rebound to suit your preferred feel and typical load.
  • Plan a short test ride and re-check settings once the shocks have bedded in.

Serviceability / lifecycle

Ohlins shocks are built to be maintained. Periodic servicing helps keep damping performance consistent over time, especially for bikes used for touring or frequent two-up riding.
