Shock Absorber - Custom & Harley

Shock Absorber - Custom & Harley

Factory shocks on custom motorcycles and Harleys are often soft, underdamped and lacking in adjustability, causing poor ride quality, excessive rear-end squat and discomfort on long rides. Ohlins Custom & Harley shock absorbers are engineered to deliver a smoother, more controlled ride, enhanced stability and improved road feedback while retaining the cruiser character.

Improved ride comfort and handling for custom and Harley cruisers

  • Reduced harsh impacts and improved ride comfort
  • Better cornering stability without losing cruiser feel
  • Fully adjustable preload, compression, and rebound damping
  • Optimised for cruiser weight, balance and touring loads

Recommended Pairings

For a balanced suspension setup, pair with Ohlins Custom & Harley Front Forks, Ohlins Fork Spring Kit, Ohlins Fork Oil or Suspension Tools.
