Three engine generations across this span — Evolution (1990-1998), Twin Cam (1999-2016), and Milwaukee-Eight (2017-2021). Fitment is correct across all three on the rear shock interface, but riders should confirm spring rate selection matches their bike's loaded weight. Includes Tri Glide Ultra Classic (FLHTCUTG, 2009-2013), CVO Tri Glide (FLHTCUTGSE, 2020-2021), and Street Glide Trike (FLHXXX, 2010-2011) — Trike-capable in addition to standard two-wheel Touring.

Öhlins STX 36 Blackline rear shocks for Harley-Davidson Touring, 1990-2021. A premium upgrade over the OEM rear suspension, engineered for ride comfort, control, and long service life on the road.

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

The Blackline series is Öhlins' Harley-specific finish on the STX 36 platform — all-black anodized hardware with gold detailing. This dividing-piston configuration integrates the reservoir into the shock body for a clean profile and adds rebound damping and length adjustment. Spring rate is preset for a 250-575 lb combined rider + passenger + cargo weight range.

Features

  • High-pressure nitrogen-charged monotube design with 36mm piston
  • Dividing-piston design with reservoir integrated into the shock body (slim profile, no external hose)
  • Adjustable rebound damping and shock length
  • Pin-tool spring preload adjustment
  • Fixed spring rate for a 250-575 lb combined loaded weight range
  • 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 matched to the 250-575 lb weight range
  • Preload adjustment pin tool

Installation Notes

  • Direct bolt-on replacement for the OEM rear shocks. No frame modifications or additional components required.
  • Initial sag setting is recommended after install to optimize ride comfort and handling.
