Drag Specialties Shocks Premium Ride-Height Adjustable 12-Inch for Harley-Davidson Touring Models - Chrome C16-0162A

Premium Ride-Height Adjustable Shocks - 12" - Standard - Chrome

Upgrade your Harley-Davidson touring motorcycle with the Drag Specialties Shocks Premium Ride-Height Adjustable 12-Inch, designed to enhance ride comfort and handling. These shocks feature nitrogen-charged steel monotube damper bodies with hard chrome-plated shafts, providing durability and consistent performance. The dual-rate progressive wound springs deliver a smooth and comfortable ride by adjusting to varying road conditions, while the adjustable spring preload lets you fine-tune the suspension to your preference. The ride-height can be adjusted by approximately 1/2 inch from the listed size, allowing for customization to improve ground clearance and cornering performance.

These shocks are designed to fit specific Harley-Davidson touring models, including Electra Glide, Road King, and Street Glide, among others, with the correct mounting hardware. Note that shocks shorter than original equipment (OE) length may reduce travel, which could impact handling and ride quality. Lowering the motorcycle also decreases ground and cornering clearance, so verify that your wheel travel can accommodate changes without interference with components such as the swingarm, axle, exhaust, chain or belt guard, or tires. The black finish with black springs and damper bodies not only offers a sleek aesthetic but also corrosion resistance. Please be aware that OE upper shock mount covers will not fit with these shocks, and they are not compatible with rear lowering kits. Custom mounting may be necessary for models with OEM-style offset mount shocks to ensure proper fitment and performance.

Designed for riders seeking a reliable upgrade that improves ride quality and adjustability, these shocks combine premium materials and thoughtful engineering. They provide a versatile solution for customizing your motorcycle’s suspension to match your riding style and terrain, ensuring a comfortable and controlled ride on long journeys or spirited cornering. Proper installation and fitment verification are recommended to maximize performance and safety.
