2014-2016 Harley-Davidson Touring Öhlins Complete Front and Rear Suspension Kit (FKC Cartridges + STX Pro Reservoir Shocks)

This is the kit the performance bagger crowd builds toward: Öhlins FKC cartridge internals up front and Öhlins STX Pro reservoir shocks out back, sold as one matched front and rear package for 2014-2016 Harley-Davidson Touring models. Öhlins is the name riders trust from MotoGP grids to the King of the Baggers paddock, and this is their full treatment for a Grand American Touring chassis: a bike that stops diving under the brakes, holds a line through a sweeper, and soaks up broken pavement with both wheels working together.

What is in the kit

• Öhlins FKC 100 series fork cartridge kit (pair) for the 49mm Showa fork, replacing the factory damper rod internals with true cartridge damping. Includes Öhlins 08790 series fork springs.
• Öhlins STX Pro reservoir shocks (pair) in your choice of length, spring rating, and reservoir finish: black bodies with hose-mounted remote reservoirs, fully adjustable compression, rebound, length, and spring preload to dial the ride to your load.

Choose your rear shock

13 in is the pick for most riders: an inch more shock length than the stock Street Glide and Road Glide setup means more usable travel, with seat height staying close to stock once sag is set. 12 in holds your bike at factory shock length for riders who are inseam limited or committed to the lower stance and willing to trade some travel for it.

Spring ratings are total load ranges. 150-500 lb covers most solo riders and lighter two-up loads. 250-575 lb is for regular two-up riding, loaded bags and a trunk, or heavier total loads. If your combined rider, passenger, and cargo weight lives above roughly 240 lb most rides, take the heavier rating.

Pick your reservoir finish

Gold is the classic Öhlins Blackline look: black shock bodies with the signature gold reservoirs everyone recognizes from the racing paddock. Black is the stealth version of the same STX Pro shock, with blacked-out reservoirs for a murdered-out build. The Black reservoir finish is offered in the 150-500 lb spring rating only; if you need the 250-575 lb rating, choose Gold.

Rebuildable, not disposable

Most twin shocks are sealed units you eventually throw away. Öhlins builds these to be serviced and rebuilt, so the kit you bolt on this season is the suspension you are still running six figures of miles from now. That is a large part of what the price buys.

Why front and rear together

Every touring owner who has upgraded one end learns the same lesson: the improved end exposes the stock one. Damping rates, spring rates, and ride heights work as a system, and mixing mismatched components can upset rake and trail on a 900 lb bike. This kit pairs the FKC cartridges and STX Pro shocks so both ends are speaking the same language out of the box.

Fitment

Fits 2014-2016 Harley-Davidson Touring models with the 49mm Showa fork, including Street Glide (FLHX, FLHXS), Road King (FLHR), Electra Glide Ultra Classic (FLHTCU, FLHTCUL), Ultra Limited (FLHTKL, FLHTKSE CVO Limited), CVO Street Glide (FLHXSE), Road Glide Special (FLTRXS), and CVO Road Glide Ultra (FLTRUSE). Not compatible with 2017 and newer Touring models, which use different fork internals, or with 2013 and earlier 41mm forks. The rear shocks in this kit fit 2014-2026 Touring on their own, so if you ride a 2017 or newer bike, run them standalone and pair the front separately.

Ordering and install notes

Öhlins components are frequently built to order, so allow additional lead time on this kit. The rear shocks are a bolt-on install; the fork cartridge install requires fork disassembly and is worth shop time if you have not done it before. Set sag front and rear for your load after install to get what you paid for. Kit ships as two factory boxes, one pair of cartridges and one pair of shocks.
