The Ohlins HD909 is an STX 36 twin rear shock set for Harley-Davidson FLH/FLT Touring and FLHRC models. Built around Ohlins twin-shock architecture, it is designed to give consistent damping control and clearer chassis feedback. This unit uses a gas-charged, oil/gas-separated design to help maintain damping stability as conditions change.

Ohlins | Made to race, perfected to ride

Ohlins road suspension focuses on controlled damping, predictable behaviour and long-term service support. The HD909 is intended as a direct-fit twin rear shock solution for compatible Harley-Davidson touring applications.

Who this shock is for

  • Riders wanting improved rear-end control and stability on touring-style Harley-Davidson models
  • Owners who carry varying loads and want a setup that can be tuned to suit
  • Anyone chasing more consistent damping feel compared with tired or under-damped stock units

Shock design & features

  • STX 36 twin rear shock configuration for Harley-Davidson touring fitment
  • Gas-charged, oil/gas-separated damping system for more consistent performance
  • Progressive-rate rear springs supplied (as fitted)

Tuning controls

  • Rebound damping adjustment to tailor how the rear recovers after bumps and load transfers
  • Spring preload adjustment to suit rider weight, luggage and passenger use

Before you install

  • Confirm your exact model and year within the FLH/FLT Touring and FLHRC range before fitment
  • Set sag and preload first, then fine-tune rebound to match your roads and load
  • After installation, re-check fastener torque and clearance through full suspension movement

Serviceability/lifecycle

Like other Ohlins units, the HD909 is designed to be serviced and refreshed over its life. Periodic servicing helps maintain damping consistency and protects internal components, especially on high-kilometre touring use.
