2017-2023 Harley-Davidson Touring Öhlins Complete Front and Rear Suspension Kit (NIX 22 Cartridges + STX Pro Reservoir Shocks)

The 2017-2023 Milwaukee-Eight touring bikes are the center of the performance bagger world, and this is the Öhlins treatment for them: NIX 22 fork cartridges up front and STX Pro remote reservoir shocks out back, sold as one matched front and rear package. Öhlins built its name in MotoGP and carries it through the King of the Baggers grid, and this kit brings that engineering to a bike you ride every week.

What is in the kit

• Öhlins NIX 22 fork cartridge kit (pair) with springs for the 49mm Showa fork. The NIX design runs compression damping in the left leg and rebound in the right, giving each circuit the full fork leg to work with. Adjustments, including spring preload, live at the top caps. Bolts into your original fork legs.
• Öhlins STX Pro Blackline reservoir shocks (pair) in your choice of length and spring rating. Piggyback reservoir construction adds oil capacity for consistent damping on long, hard, loaded miles, with full Öhlins adjustability and blacked-out bodies.

Pick your rear shock length

13 in is the pick for most riders: more usable travel than the stock low-profile setup on Street Glide and Road Glide models, 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.

Pick your spring rating

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.

Rebuildable, not disposable

Every damper in this kit is built to be serviced and rebuilt rather than thrown away. Set it up once, maintain it on schedule, and it outlasts the bike loan by a decade.

Why front and rear together

Upgrade one end of a 900 lb bagger and the stock end immediately becomes the thing you feel. Mix mismatched lengths and rates, and you can change rake and trail enough to make a good bike handle badly. This kit pairs the NIX 22 cartridges with STX Pro rears in height-matched combinations so the chassis works as one system from the first ride.

Fitment

Fits 2017-2023 Harley-Davidson Touring models with the 49mm Showa fork per the Öhlins fitment, including Street Glide (FLHX, FLHXS), Road Glide (FLTRX, FLTRXS, FLTRU, FLTRK), Road King (FLHR, FLHRXS), Electra Glide Standard, Electra Glide Ultra Classic, Ultra Limited (FLHTK, FLHTKL), CVO Street Glide through 2022, and CVO Limited through 2021. Not for 2013 and earlier 41mm forks, 2014-2016 models (we carry a separate Öhlins kit for those), or 2023 and newer CVO models with inverted front ends.

Ordering and install notes

Öhlins components can be built to order, so allow additional lead time. The rear shocks are a bolt-on install; the fork cartridge 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, one pair of cartridges and one pair of shocks.
