DRAG SPECIALTIES Shock Absorber (ref. C16-0131NUGB) — replaces the original with a robust, rider-oriented design. Black painted steel monotube body, hard chrome plated shaft, and gas-charged damping system provide a linear and durable response. Progressive springs ensure a comfortable ride while maintaining cornering stability.
Designed for Vintage/Classic and Roadster universes, this shock absorber fits several Sportster and custom models (e.g., Harley-Davidson models listed in the references). Installation is done using the existing mounting hardware, making replacement easy. Note: the original upper mounting covers (OEM) are not compatible with this model.
Rider note — lowering the motorcycle will reduce ground clearance, especially in corners. Before purchasing or installing a shock absorber of a different length than the original, check the wheel/swingarm/axle clearance and any potential contact with the exhaust to avoid space issues.
