Drag Specialties C16-0151A Premium Ride-Height Adjustable Shock Absorber for Harley-Davidson Touring Models

Premium Ride-Height Adjustable Shocks - 11" - Standard - Chrome

The Drag Specialties C16-0151A shock absorber is designed for Harley-Davidson touring motorcycles, offering a reliable upgrade with enhanced ride comfort and adjustability. These shocks feature nitrogen-charged steel monotube damper bodies with hard chrome-plated shafts for durability and consistent performance. The dual-rate progressive wound springs ensure a smooth, controlled ride by adapting to varying road conditions and rider preferences. The adjustable spring preload allows fine-tuning of suspension stiffness, while the ride-height adjustment capability of +/- 1/2 inch provides customization to suit individual riding styles and ergonomics.
Compatible with a wide range of Harley-Davidson touring models, these shocks are intended to replace OEM units, providing improved handling and ride quality. The black finish on the springs and damper bodies, complemented by black end caps and eyelets, offers a sleek appearance that matches modern motorcycle aesthetics. They mount using existing hardware, simplifying installation, but it's important to note that shocks shorter than OEM length may reduce travel, which could affect ride quality and handling. Lowering the motorcycle decreases ground clearance and cornering performance, so verify wheel travel and clearance before installation to prevent contact issues with the swingarm, exhaust, chain or belt guards, or tires.
The shocks are not compatible with OEM upper shock mount covers and are not suitable for use with rear lowering kits. Custom mounting may be necessary on models with OEM-style offset mount shocks. These shocks are ideal for riders looking to enhance comfort and adjustability on their Harley-Davidson touring bikes, with the added benefit of a quality chrome finish that resists corrosion and enhances durability.
Vehicle fitment includes Harley-Davidson Touring models such as Electra Glide, Road King, Street Glide, and Ultra Classic, among others, ensuring broad compatibility across popular touring bikes. Proper installation and adjustment will maximize performance and riding enjoyment, making these shocks a valuable upgrade for touring motorcycle enthusiasts seeking a smooth, customizable ride experience.
