The Ohlins HD779 STX 36 Blackline rear shock pair is built for Harley-Davidson touring models needing more control and tunability without losing the bike’s character. This set combines Ohlins damping design with a Blackline finish suited to classic and custom styling. It is supplied as a matched pair for rear fitment.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Developed from Ohlins road and race suspension know-how, the STX 36 Blackline platform focuses on consistent damping and practical adjustability for heavier cruisers and touring bikes. The intent is predictable support under load and a more settled chassis feel across varied road surfaces.

Who this shock is for

  • Harley-Davidson riders wanting adjustable rear suspension for comfort and stability changes.
  • Touring and two-up use where preload and damping tuning matters.
  • Builds where a Blackline aesthetic is preferred.

Shock design & features

This is an Ohlins STX 36 series rear shock set using a gas-separated design. The pair includes brackets for the reservoirs and is supplied with black springs to match the Blackline finish.

Tuning controls

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

Before you install

  • Confirm fitment for your exact Harley-Davidson model and year within the Electra Glide, Road Glide, Road King, Street Glide, and Ultra Classic ranges.
  • Set initial spring preload to suit typical load (solo, luggage, or passenger) before fine-tuning damping.
  • Ensure reservoir placement uses the included brackets and has adequate clearance through full suspension travel.

Serviceability/lifecycle

Ohlins shocks are designed to be serviced and refreshed to maintain performance over time. Routine inspection and periodic servicing help keep damping consistent and protect internal components.
