Drag Specialties Shocks Premium Ride-Height Adjustable 13.5 inch Black C16-0168NUHB for Harley-Davidson Touring Models

Premium Ride-Height Adjustable Shocks - 13.5" - Heavy Duty - Black

The Drag Specialties C16-0168NUHB shocks are designed for Harley-Davidson touring motorcycles, offering a combination of durability and ride customization. These heavy-duty, black finish shocks feature nitrogen-charged steel monotube damper bodies with hard chrome-plated shafts, providing consistent damping performance under various riding conditions. The dual-rate progressive wound springs ensure a smooth and comfortable ride by adapting to different load conditions, reducing rider fatigue and enhancing overall handling. With adjustable spring preload and ride-height adjustment capability of approximately plus or minus 1/2 inch from the listed size, these shocks allow riders to fine-tune their motorcycle's stance for optimal comfort and handling. Suitable for a wide range of Harley-Davidson touring models, including FLHX, FLTR, and FLHT series, they are designed to mount using existing hardware, simplifying installation. It's important to note that shocks shorter than OEM length may affect travel and handling, so confirm wheel travel clearance before installation to avoid contact issues with components such as the swingarm, exhaust, chain or belt guards, and tires. These shocks are not compatible with rear lowering kits and do not fit OEM upper shock mount covers. For models with OEM-style offset mount shocks, some custom mounting may be required. Proper installation and adjustment can significantly improve ride quality, stability, and ground clearance, making these shocks an excellent upgrade for touring enthusiasts seeking a customized ride experience.
