Choosing By Ride Height Alone
A lower number does not automatically mean a better ride. Loaded touring bikes need control, travel, and support — not just a certain stance.

Before You Choose Shocks
Most Suspension Mistakes Happen Before The Bike Ever Leaves The Garage
The wrong suspension choice usually starts with the wrong question. Riders shop by brand name, ride height, or what their buddy bought — instead of matching the shock to the weight, load, passenger setup, and miles the bike actually sees.
Ignoring Passenger And Tour Pack Weight
Two-up riding, luggage, and Tour Packs change how the bike behaves. That is why SR2 LT is usually the better starting point for most real touring setups.
Buying The Shock Someone Else Runs
Your weight, load, bike, and riding style matter. A shock that works for one rider can feel wrong on another bike with a different setup.
The goal is not just better shocks.
The goal is a Harley that feels more controlled, more planted, and more confident when the miles stack up.

Choose The Super Shox Setup That Matches How You Ride
Most Harley touring riders should start with SR2 LT. SR1 still has a place — especially for Trike and Freewheeler applications — but SR2 LT is usually the stronger value for loaded touring bikes. How it works
Trike / Freewheeler note:
Tri Glide, Freewheeler, and Harley Trike applications use SR1 only due to platform weight and fitment requirements.
SR1
Premier
Best for
The simple stock-mount Super Shox option. Required for Trike and Freewheeler applications, and a good fit for riders who do not need the added travel and control of SR2 LT.
• Required path for Trike / Freewheeler
• Stock-mount setup
• Built to order in the USA

SR2
Premium
Best value for touring bikes
The best starting point for most Street Glide, Road Glide, Road King, and Ultra riders — especially with luggage, Tour Pack weight, or occasional 2-up riding.
• LT: extra travel + relocation kit included
• Better control for loaded touring bikes
• Same ride height potential when set correctly
Shop SR2 LT
RR1
Platinum
Best for
Maximum control for aggressive riders who want remote reservoirs and external damping adjustment. Built for riders who push the bike harder.
• Remote reservoir shocks
• External damping adjustment
• SL or LT configurations available
Shop RR1
Quick note: SL and LT can both maintain stock ride height when set correctly. LT adds travel and control — not extra height.
SL vs LT Explained
Most Touring Riders End Up Here For A Reason
SR2 LT is usually the best starting point for Street Glide, Road Glide, Road King, and Ultra riders who actually load the bike, ride real miles, or go 2-up even occasionally.
01
SR2 LT Is Usually Right If You...
- Ride with a Tour Pack or real luggage
- Go 2-up even occasionally
- Ride long days or rough roads
- Want better control on loaded touring bikes
- Care more about confidence than slammed height
That’s why SR2 LT is our default recommendation for most real touring setups.
02
SL — Standard Length
Best for solo riders, lighter luggage, and riders who want a simpler stock-mount setup with a plush everyday touring feel.
- Good for lighter touring use
- Stock-mount style setup
- Available in SR2 and RR1
03
LT — Long Travel
Designed for Tour Pack setups, passenger use, rough roads, and frequent loaded travel. LT includes the relocation kit for more usable travel while maintaining stock stance when configured correctly.
- More usable suspension travel
- Better support for loaded bikes
- Relocation kit included
Important: LT adds usable suspension travel and control — not extra ride height. SL and LT can both maintain stock ride height when set correctly.
Tri Glide & Freewheeler Owners:
Trike and Freewheeler applications use SR1 only. These platforms have different weight distribution and suspension requirements than traditional touring bikes, which is why SR2 is not used on those models.

Why Super Shox

Super Shox is not a generic catalog suspension brand. Every set is built in the USA and configured around the rider, the bike, and the way that bike is actually used.
Built To Order In The USA
Super Shox are made in America and built around your rider profile instead of pulled from a one-size-fits-all shelf.
Family-Owned Company
Super Shox comes from a family-owned American company focused on suspension quality, rider support, and real-world performance.
Touring And Performance DNA
From loaded touring bikes to performance-focused riders, Super Shox gives Harley owners options built around control, confidence, and comfort.
Why Dreaded Iron Moto chose Super Shox:
Most riders do not need more confusion when buying suspension. They need a clear recommendation, a verified setup, and a shock built around how they actually ride.

Super Shox vs Legends
The Real Difference Starts Before The Shock Is Built
Both Super Shox and Legends improve ride quality over stock suspension. The biggest difference is how they get there. Legends focuses more on rider adjustment after installation. Super Shox starts with your rider profile and builds the shock around how you actually ride before it ever leaves the factory.
Rider-Profile Built
Super Shox
- Built around rider weight, passenger use, and luggage
- Configured for how your Harley is actually ridden
- Strong fit for touring riders who want less guesswork
- Verified before build so you are not ordering blind
Adjustment-Focused
Legends
- Well-known in the Harley suspension space
- More adjustment-driven after installation
- Can work well when dialed in correctly
- May require more rider involvement as setup changes
Bottom line:
The biggest advantage of Super Shox is that the suspension is built around your rider profile from the start. For most touring riders, that means less guessing, less trial and error, and a setup that feels right sooner.

What Riders Notice First
The Upgrade Shows Up In How The Bike Feels
Most riders do not buy better suspension because they want to talk about shock specs. They buy it because the bike feels harsh, loose, unsettled, or tiring after real miles. Super Shox is about making the bike feel more controlled, more planted, and easier to ride longer.
Less Harsh Impacts
Expansion joints, potholes, bridge transitions, and broken pavement stop feeling like they are going straight through your spine.
More Stability In Corners
The bike feels more planted instead of floating, wallowing, or getting unsettled when the road surface changes mid-corner.
Better Control With Weight
Passenger, luggage, and Tour Pack weight stop overwhelming the rear suspension as quickly, especially when the setup is matched to your rider profile.
Less Rider Fatigue
The biggest difference is often how you feel at the end of the ride. Less fighting the bike means more energy left when you arrive.
The part most riders miss:
You do not always realize how much energy you are spending fighting stock suspension until the bike stops making you fight it.

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."
Ready To Choose?
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.
