WHY UPGRADE YOUR HARLEY-DAVIDSON SPORTSTER SUSPENSION?

The stock shocks on most Harley-Davidson Sportsters are severely underdamped, short-travel units that compromise comfort and control. Whether you ride an Iron 883, Forty-Eight, or a modded-out 1200, upgrading to Nowaskey 12” Dual Adjustable Shocks is one of the most noticeable improvements you can make.

• Dramatically improves ride quality, especially over potholes and rough roads

• Allows for proper sag setup for your weight — solo or 2-up

• Handles the added demand of hard launches, wheelies, and high-speed sweepers

• Improves cornering clearance and rear end stability

• Customizable to your riding style and payload with user-swappable springs

• Better control = safer, more confident riding

Whether you're building a show bike, a daily rider, or a purpose-built stunt machine, our shocks are engineered to perform at the highest level — and keep doing so for the long haul.
