This kit rebuilds both ends with Öhlins: the FKC 101 cartridge kit with its matched Öhlins fork springs up front, and your choice of Öhlins STX 36 rear shocks out back. One order, both ends, matched by the people who build suspension for MotoGP and the King of the Baggers grid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is in the kit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eÖhlins FKC 101 fork cartridge kit (pair) for the 41mm Showa fork, springs included, built on Öhlins NIX technology with rebound damping in one leg and compression in the other, 8mm steel shafts, aluminum damper tubes, and 25mm pistons. No external adjusters to fuss with: valved correctly out of the box.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eÖhlins STX 36 rear shocks (pair) in your choice of series and spring rating.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePick your rear shock series\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlackline Monotube:\u003c\/strong\u003e gas-charged monotube damping in a blacked-out 13 in body with adjustable preload. The classic Öhlins twin shock that transformed thousands of these bikes, in stealth trim. The value pick, and still a serious piece of suspension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReservoir:\u003c\/strong\u003e the step up. The HD 357 series adds gold hose-mounted remote reservoirs for more oil capacity and damping consistency on hard two-up miles and hot days, with fully adjustable compression, rebound, length, and spring preload. These wear the traditional Öhlins look: chrome springs and gold reservoirs, not blacked out. For 1999 and newer models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePick your spring rating\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRatings are total load ranges. \u003cstrong\u003e150-500 lb\u003c\/strong\u003e covers most solo riders and lighter two-up loads. \u003cstrong\u003e250-575 lb\u003c\/strong\u003e is for regular two-up riding, loaded bags and trunk, or heavier total loads. If your combined rider, passenger, and cargo weight lives above roughly 240 lb most rides, take the heavier spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRebuildable, not disposable\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eÖhlins builds every damper in this kit to be serviced and rebuilt rather than replaced. On a generation of bikes that owners keep for decades, that matters: this is the last suspension purchase the bike should ever need.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy front and rear together\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUpgrade one end and the other immediately becomes the weak point; mix mismatched rates and lengths and you can upset the handling of an 850 lb machine. This kit pairs the FKC cartridges and their included springs with STX 36 rears so the whole chassis is working from the same sheet of music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFits 1997-2013 Harley-Davidson Touring models with the 41mm Showa fork, including Road King (FLHR, FLHRC, FLHRS), Street Glide (FLHX, 2006-2013), Road Glide (FLTR, FLTRX, FLTRU), Electra Glide Standard, Classic, and Ultra Classic, plus Screamin Eagle and CVO variants per the fitment list. The Reservoir rear shock option fits 1999 and newer models; 1997-1998 bikes should choose the Blackline Monotube. Not for 2014 and newer Touring models with 49mm forks; we carry a separate 2014-2016 Öhlins kit for those.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOrdering and install notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eÖhlins components can be built to order, so allow additional lead time. Rear shocks are a bolt-on install; the fork cartridge and spring install requires fork disassembly and is worth shop time if you have not been inside a set of forks. Set sag front and rear for your load after install. Kit ships as two factory boxes: cartridge kit with springs, and shocks.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ohlins","offers":[{"title":"Monotube (Black) \/ 150-500 lb","offer_id":53739145822521,"sku":"OHLFKC 101+OHLHD 776","price":2302.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Monotube (Black) \/ 250-575 lb","offer_id":53739145855289,"sku":"OHLFKC 101+OHLHD 772S2","price":2302.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Reservoir (Chrome \/ Gold) \/ 150-500 lb","offer_id":53739145888057,"sku":"OHLFKC 101+OHLHD 357","price":2797.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Reservoir (Chrome \/ Gold) \/ 250-575 lb","offer_id":53739145920825,"sku":"OHLFKC 101+OHLHD 357S2","price":2797.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/1557\/3561\/files\/1997-2013_Harley-Davidson_Touring_Ohlins_Complete_Front_and_Rear_Suspension_Kit_FKC_Cartridges_Springs_STX_36_Shocks.jpg?v=1783458713","url":"https:\/\/tires-fast.com\/products\/1997-2013-harley-davidson-touring-ohlins-complete-front-and-rear-suspension-kit-fkc-cartridges-springs-stx-36-shocks","provider":"Tires Fast","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
