Manufacturer reference: C16-166NUA — Brand: DRAG SPECIALTIES SHOCKS. Rear gas-charged monotube shocks designed for vintage/classic machines and roadsters that want to maintain a neat look while keeping a geometry close to the original. Steel body, hard chrome shafts, and progressive dual-rate springs: a robust construction with adjustable preload to adapt the handling according to the rider and the load.
Installation notes: shocks shorter than the OE length have reduced travel, which may impact handling and ground clearance (especially under load). Before purchasing, check the interaction between the swingarm/axle/exhaust and confirm that lowering will not cause unwanted contact. Not compatible with rear lowering kits; some models with OEM offset shocks may require specific mounting.
Common compatibility: Harley-Davidson Sportster XL 1200 S, XL 1200 C Sportster Custom, XLH 883 Sportster Hugger (years 2003 listed for reference).
