DRAG SPECIALTIES C16-0156HB Shock Absorber — rear gas-charged monotube shock absorber, black finish, designed for Vintage/Classic and Touring motorcycles. Sturdy steel body, hard chrome shaft, and progressive dual-rate springs for controlled suspension behaviour. Adjustable spring preload and height adjustable by +/- 1/2" (±12.7 mm) from the specified measurement to adapt the motorcycle to your riding style or a different load.
Points to consider before installation: units shorter than the original length reduce travel and may affect motorcycle behaviour. Lowering the height results in reduced ground clearance (especially in corners). Check wheel/swingarm/exhaust clearance before fitting if the length differs from OE. Original shock absorber top covers are not compatible. Not compatible with rear lowering kits. May require specific fitting on certain models equipped with OEM offset shocks.
