Important
Fits 2004-2022 XL Sportster models. Does NOT fit the XR1200/XR1200X (Öhlins offers separate part numbers HD 907, HD 908, HD 852 for the XR platform). Spans the carbureted XLH (2004-2006), early fuel-injected (2007-2009), and rubber-mounted Sportster (2004-2022) eras — fitment is correct across all three on the rear shock interface.

Öhlins STX 36 Blackline rear shocks for Harley-Davidson Sportster XL, 2004-2022. A premium suspension upgrade over the OEM rear shocks, with the all-black Blackline finish and proven STX 36 damping platform tuned for the Sportster chassis.

Sold as a complete pair (left and right rear shocks).

This is the 11in (279mm) shorter-length configuration of the Sportster Blackline series — selected by riders wanting a lower seat height or a custom stance. The S36D dividing-piston design integrates the reservoir into the shock body for a clean profile, with rebound damping and shock length adjustment.

Features

  • High-pressure nitrogen-charged monotube design with 36mm piston
  • Dividing-piston design with reservoir integrated into the shock body (slim profile)
  • Adjustable rebound damping and shock length
  • Pin-tool spring preload adjustment
  • 11in (279mm) length — shorter than the OEM Sportster shock, intended for lowered or custom-stance setups
  • Pre-installed springs matched to the application
  • Hard-anodized, CNC-machined components for corrosion resistance and consistent damping
  • Fully serviceable and rebuildable — Öhlins services these in-house, and they are designed to be rebuilt rather than replaced over their service life.

What's Included

  • Two (2) Öhlins STX 36 Blackline shock absorbers
  • Pre-installed springs for the application
  • Preload adjustment pin tool

Installation Notes

  • Direct bolt-on replacement for the OEM rear shocks. Note that the 11in length is shorter than stock and will lower the rear of the bike — confirm this is the intended use case before ordering.
  • Riders wanting to retain stock ride height should consider the 12in (HD 751) or 13in (HD 754) variants instead.
  • Initial sag setting is recommended after install.

  • Series: Öhlins STX 36 Blackline (S36D)
