Reservoir Rear Shocks - Harley Touring Street Glide

Rear reservoir shocks for Touring Street Glide

Superior stability, comfort, and control for your Harley, built for the long haul

Designed for long-distance riding and heavy machines, these rear reservoir shocks deliver a clear upgrade over the stock suspension on Touring models. The external reservoir (small canister) increases oil volume and improves heat dissipation, ensuring consistent performance even when roads get rough or load increases.

With simple, effective adjustments (spring preload and hydraulic tuning depending on version), they adapt in seconds to your riding style and conditions: highway, twisty roads, two-up, luggage… Enjoy more precise handling, healthier reactions, and noticeably improved comfort over road imperfections.

The refined design with anodized gold or black canisters elevates the Touring look while offering durability thanks to a machined aluminum body and high-strength springs. It’s the ideal upgrade to gain control without sacrificing comfort.

Why upgrade the stock part?

The stock suspension on big tourers can show its limits with wear, load (passenger + luggage), or brisk riding. When the oil heats up, damping becomes less consistent and the bike may wallow, bottom out, or run wide in corners. Over time, comfort degrades and stability suffers over joints and imperfections.

• Loss of control and precision in spirited riding

• Bottoming out on big hits or two-up

• Wallowing and instability on bumpy roads

• Uneven comfort on long trips

These reservoir shocks address these issues directly: optimized hydraulics stabilize the bike, thermal management maintains performance over time, and adjustments let you tailor the suspension to your use (solo/two-up, load, road type).

Ideal use:

• Grand touring and long highway stages

• Two-up travel with luggage

• Dynamic riding in the mountains or on degraded roads

• Custom baggers seeking a premium look and consistent performance

• Durable replacement for a tired suspension without compromising comfort
