Trike shock buyer's guide
What to check before you buy rear shocks for a Harley trike
Tri Glide, Freewheeler, Road Glide 3 and Street Glide 3 riders carry more weight over the rear than a two-wheel tourer. Get these right and the shock choice is simple.
Size the setup to the real load
Rider weight alone isn't enough. Passenger, trunk, luggage and how often you ride loaded all decide the spring and damping baseline.
Usable travel, not just length
Long-travel SR1 gives the rear more room to work over seams and potholes. Listed length alone doesn't tell you how a shock will ride.
Confirm anything non-stock
Aftermarket exhaust, lift or lowering kits, or a 2026+ model? Use Ask a Rider and we'll confirm fitment before you order.
Why SR1 for 3-wheelers: for Harley 3-wheel models, SR1 is the Super Shox platform. It is built in the USA around your rider profile, ships in 3–9 business days and carries a limited lifetime warranty.
