Drag Specialties Shock Absorber (manufacturer part no. C16-0162HB) — rear shock absorber with springs, designed for touring bikes. Nitrogen-charged monotube steel body, hardened chrome rods, and dual-rate progressive springs for controlled absorption of road irregularities. Discreet black finish with black body, springs, and eyelets to maintain the aesthetic of large touring bikes.
These shock absorbers are designed to provide a smooth and comfortable ride on long journeys while maintaining a subtle look suitable for customs and baggers. Installation is done with the existing mounting hardware on compatible models; however, the original equipment (OE) upper covers are not compatible, and the use of rear lowering kits is excluded.
Warning: units shorter than the original length reduce travel and ground clearance — this may alter cornering behaviour or cause contact (swingarm/axle with exhaust). Before purchase, check the dimensions and compatibility with your setup (especially on models with offset shocks).
Common compatibility (examples): Harley-Davidson FLHRXS Road King Special 114 (2025), FLTRK Road Glide Limited 114 (2024), FLHTK Ultra Limited 114 (2024).
