The Bike
Street Glide, Road Glide, Road King, Ultra, Trike, Freewheeler, RG3, or SG3 — the bike matters because each setup asks different things from the rear suspension.

How To Use This Page
These Are More Than Star Ratings
A good customer review should help you see whether that rider’s situation looks anything like yours. That is why this page is built around bike setup, rider profile, riding style, and the problem each rider wanted to solve.
The Rider Profile
Rider weight, passenger use, Tour Pack, luggage, and how often the bike is loaded all affect which Super Shox setup makes the most sense.
The Problem
Harsh ride, bottoming out, passenger discomfort, rough roads, loaded touring, or poor rear-end control — the best proof starts with what the rider was trying to fix.
The Setup
Each profile shows which Super Shox setup was chosen and why it matched that rider’s bike, weight, passenger use, and real-world riding.
Use this page like a decision guide.
Find a rider with a bike and riding style close to yours, then use that profile to understand why a certain Super Shox setup made sense.

Featured Customer Story
“These Shocks Stopped Me From Selling My Trike.”
The Problem
After buying the trike because of knee and back issues, the harsh ride made him feel like the motorcycle was a waste of money. Super Shox became the last resort before selling it.
“I want you guys to know that the shocks you sold me for my 2020 trike stopped me from selling it! After buying this trike due to knee and back issues, I thought that it was a waste of money due to the harsh rigid frame ride that this had. After talking with you guys, I decided to purchase a pair of your shocks as my last resort. After approx. 2.5 hours of installation with help from a friend, they installed perfectly. The test ride was super impressing, like a light switch from a hard ride to a soft ride. Now I have decided to keep it. This was the best money spent for anyone looking to improve their ride and handling. Thanks, guys, for all you do!!”
Dreaded Iron Takeaway: This is exactly why rider-profile suspension matters on a Trike. Many riders move to a Tri Glide for comfort, but the rear suspension still has to control weight, leverage, road impact, and passenger comfort. The SR1 Premier LT setup gives the rear suspension more room to work so the bike feels closer to what the rider expected from the beginning.
Long Distance Touring Reviews
Thousands Of Miles Tell The Real Story
Anyone can say a suspension feels good after a short ride around town. These riders put Super Shox through long days, loaded motorcycles, and thousands of touring miles before sharing what changed.
Ultra Limited • Street Glide Special
5,600 Miles Out West — Zero Fatigue
SR2 Premium
Loaded Touring
5,600 Miles
“We put 5,600 miles on them — including multiple 500-mile days — and could not be more pleased with the way they ride. The biggest surprise was how much fatigue disappeared. Long days that used to beat us up just felt stable and controlled instead of harsh. If you actually travel on your bike, this upgrade makes a real difference.”
Dreaded Iron Takeaway
Better suspension isn't just about comfort. Riders often notice less fatigue because the motorcycle stays planted and absorbs repeated impacts instead of transferring them into the rider all day long.
Harley Tri Glide
5,000 Miles Of Confidence
SR1 Premier
Touring
5,000 Miles
“Installed these right before a 5,000-mile trip and they performed exceptionally well the entire way. The bike felt more planted, more controlled, and far more comfortable over long days in the saddle. I'd recommend them to any rider looking for a serious upgrade over stock suspension.”
Dreaded Iron Takeaway
Real touring miles expose suspension weaknesses quickly. Confidence and consistency over several thousand miles are exactly what SR1 Premier was designed to deliver.
Harley Street Glide
Completely Different Ride Over Stock
SR1 Premier
Street Glide
“Spent a lot of time researching suspension options and went with Super Shox. Hands down a completely different ride compared to factory shocks — smoother, more controlled, and more confidence on the road. After putting real miles on them, I'm glad I made the switch and would choose them again without hesitation.”
Dreaded Iron Takeaway
One of the biggest improvements riders report isn't just comfort—it's confidence. A planted motorcycle is easier to ride and more enjoyable over every mile.
Performance & Handling Reviews
Confidence You Can Feel In Every Corner
Comfort is only part of the story. Riders also notice how much more planted, predictable, and confidence-inspiring their Harley feels once the rear suspension is matched to how they actually ride.
Harley Road Glide • FLHTK
True Craftsmanship — Night & Day Difference
RR1 Platinum
Remote Reservoir
Performance Touring
“The fit, finish, and quality are amazing — these really showcase true craftsmanship. I absolutely cannot believe the difference in the bike’s handling and comfort. The Platinum series delivered exactly what I was hoping for: more control, more confidence, and a smoother ride in every situation. This is the finest suspension I’ve put on my Harley, and it completely transformed how the bike feels on the road.”
Dreaded Iron Takeaway
Riders who push their motorcycles harder or simply want the best suspension Super Shox offers often choose the RR1 Platinum. The remote reservoir design provides additional oil capacity and heat control while delivering outstanding comfort, stability, and confidence during aggressive riding or long-distance touring.

Built To Order • Verified Before Production
What Happens After You Click Buy
Super Shox are built after you order — around your rider weight, passenger use, Tour Pack, luggage, bike application, and real riding style. This is not a generic shock pulled from a shelf for a model year.
You Place The Order
You choose your Super Shox series, ride height, and rider profile based on how you actually use the bike.
We Verify Within 24 Hours
We review your setup for bike fitment, rider weight, passenger use, Tour Pack, luggage, and riding style before production starts.
Super Shox Builds It To You
Your shocks are configured to your baseline load and hand-assembled in the USA before they ship.
Typical build time: about 3 weeks. That is not a delay — it is the part that makes these feel different on the first mile.
Confidence before checkout. Control on the road.
The goal is to catch setup mistakes before the shocks are built, not after the box shows up.

Behind The Build
See Why Built-To-Order Matters
Super Shox are not sitting on a shelf waiting to be boxed. This behind-the-scenes look shows the build process, the attention to detail, and why rider-specific setup matters before the shocks ever reach your bike.
Most touring riders start with SR2 LT.
If you ride with luggage, a Tour Pack, a passenger, or real road-trip miles, SR2 LT is usually the strongest first move.

Backed When It Matters
Built For The Ride. Backed For The Trip.
Long trips are where suspension matters most. If a real issue comes up, Super Shox has support options designed to help riders avoid being stranded or losing a planned ride.
Priority Replacement Builds
When timing matters, replacement builds may be prioritized so riders are not left waiting through the normal production queue.
Ships Before Return In Many Cases
Depending on the situation, Super Shox may ship the replacement before the original unit is returned, helping reduce downtime.
Overnight Shipping Once Built
Once the replacement is built, overnight shipping may be used to help riders get back on the road faster.
Important:
Trip support is handled case by case, applies to U.S. customers, and may involve cost if the issue is not manufacturing-related. The point is simple: Super Shox is built by riders who understand that trips matter.

Family-Owned • American-Made
Built By Riders, Not A Corporation
Super Shox isn't a mass-production suspension company. Every shock is built by a small American team focused on Harley riders, touring miles, and real-world performance.
Every Super Shox suspension system is built in the United States, not sourced from overseas inventory.
A smaller company means decisions are made by people who ride and build suspension — not by corporate committees.
Your shocks are assembled after the order is placed and configured around your rider profile before production begins.
"The goal isn't to build the most shocks. The goal is to build the right shocks for the rider who ordered them."

Pick Your Super Shox Setup With Confidence
Don’t overthink it. Choose the setup that matches how you actually ride — then we verify your order before production starts.
What if I pick wrong?
We verify every order within 24 hours. If anything looks off for your bike, weight, or load, we contact you before the build starts.
SL or LT?
LT is usually right for Tour Pack, passenger use, luggage, and long miles. SL fits lighter setups. Either way, we confirm before production.
Why about 3 weeks?
Super Shox are built to your rider profile, not pulled from a shelf. That build time is part of what makes them feel different.
