Best Harley Davidson Shocks

If you are in the market to find the Best Harley Davidson Shocks and aren’t interested in an Air Ride Suspension Kit, we would like to present you with a list of options when considering suspension upgrades.

A motorcycle’s suspension serves a dual purpose, contributing to the vehicle’s handling and braking and providing safety and comfort. Shocks keep the vehicle’s passengers comfortably isolated from road noise, bumps, and vibrations.

The typical motorcycle has a pair of fork tubes for the front suspension, and a swingarm with one or two shock absorbers for the rear suspension.

Because a motorcycle only has two points of contact with the ground, suspension is doubly important. The back suspension helps to ensure that the rear tire is always on the ground. This allows for greater traction for acceleration and braking. If your motorcycle has any performance upgrades, it is important to have the right suspension system. Upgraded shocks will help handle any added acceleration and torque.

Unlike cars that have a separate suspension and separate shock absorbers, motorcycle suspensions have shock absorbers built into them. Here is a great resource for you to better understand your motorcycle suspension and how to decide which suspension is the best option for your riding style: Motorcycle Suspension Explained

Check out these options of Best Harley Davidson Shocks to improve your riding experience.

Progressive Suspension 412-4080B Black Anodized Finish 12″ Heavy Duty Low Buck Factory Replacement Rear Suspension Shock

The 412’s simple, durable design means they will be an improvement to your motorcycle’s suspension performance for as long as you are riding it.

With multiple options like full show black covers or black springs in progressive rate and length 14.25 inch , there is sure to be a 412 that’s right for you and your bike. Heavy duty progressive rate spring.

Harley Davidson Touring Crash Bars

As most of you know, having a Harley Davidson Touring Crash Bar is vital to keeping your bike and more importantly, you, safe while riding. In my experience, it is always the times I least expect it when I lay my ride down. For instance, trying to put the awful Harley Davidson kickstand down and my bike tips over.  Or, sitting at a red light and the bike decides to feel heavier than normal.

In my case, I did not have a crash bar on my 2016 Street Glide when I let my sister take her for a rip. Luckily my sister was not injured but I cannot say the same about my Harley.

From that moment, I new there were certain parts and accessories that were an absolute must have on my motorcycle. Having a Harley Davidson Touring Crash Bar was certainly one of them to avoid any further damages in future bike drops.

That is why we wanted to present some of the top aftermarket crash bars to help in maintaining the beauty of your ride. Along with other maintenance work like oil changes, routine cleanings, and some spot check inventory procedures to make sure your ride is tight and hasn’t lost any screws, nuts or bolts.

Check out some of these options below. I personally went with the HTTMT EG03 Mustache Style Harley Davidson Crash Bar and absolutely love it!
