Super Shox SR1 Premier Rear Shocks | Road Glide 2002-Present

Super Shox SR1 Premier Series Rear Shocks
Harley-Davidson Road Glide (2002–Present)

Super Shox SR1 rear shocks are hand-built in the USA and configured to a rider-specific baseline based on rider weight and typical load — so your suspension shows up built around how you actually ride, not a generic factory rider.

Dreaded Iron Moto is an authorized U.S. Super Shox retailer, offering the same pricing as buying direct from the manufacturer, with added rider guidance and support.

SR1: Stock-Mount Bolt-On for Select Lighter Setups

SR1 is designed for riders who want a major upgrade over stock with a focus on:

• smooth comfort on rough roads

• stability and predictability at speed

• reduced fatigue on long days

• simple setup you don’t have to overthink

SR1 is built mainly for trikes. On a two-wheel Road Glide it suits select lighter setups with little gear and no regular passenger load. For most two-wheel Road Glide riders we recommend SR2 LT ($895): 3.5" of travel on the included relocation mounts, at stock ride height. Shop SR2 LT for Road Glide →

Direct Bolt-On Installation (No Hardware / No Modifications)

SR1 is a direct bolt-on replacement for compatible Harley-Davidson models.

• No relocation brackets required

• No cutting or permanent modifications

• Straightforward installation

Professional installation is recommended to ensure correct setup and best performance.

What Most Riders Notice First

SR1 improves the parts of touring that people don’t realize are optional until they ride better suspension:

• expansion joints and small bumps stop beating you up

• less fatigue (especially upper back + tailbone)

• the rear end stays composed instead of bouncing or kicking

• smoother feel on imperfect pavement

• more confidence in corners and highway sweepers

A lot of riders don’t realize how much stock suspension is holding the bike back until they experience a properly set up shock.

Spherical Bearing Mount (Performance Difference)

Super Shox uses a spherical bearing mount, allowing the shock to twist naturally as you lean the bike. That improves shock movement and traction under real riding conditions — a noticeable upgrade over stock rubber-bushing style mounts.

Tool-Free Adjustability (Built for Real Riders)

SR1 includes tool-free preload adjustment, making it easy to dial for:

• solo riding

• solo + gear

• occasional passenger use

Every set includes a setup chart so you can start in the correct baseline without guessing.

SR1 is Ideal For

• Daily riding and commuting

• Solo or lightly loaded setups

• Riders who don’t carry a passenger or heavy luggage

• Riders who want comfort + stability without complicated tuning

Riding 2-up, using a Tour Pack, or carrying gear? Start with SR2 LT.

Ride Height & Shock Length

Super Shox shock lengths are listed based on real-world installed ride height once properly set up, not raw eye-to-eye measurements.

Because each set is built to rider weight and load, uninstalled shocks may measure slightly longer. Once installed and adjusted to the recommended baseline, the bike settles into its intended ride height with proper sag and suspension travel.

Fitment

Compatible with Harley-Davidson models from 2002–Present, as listed for this product.

Build Time & Shipping

Super Shox are built-to-order, not pulled from shelf stock. Each set is assembled and configured specifically for the rider, which typically results in a 3–9 business day build time before shipping.

This isn’t a delay — it’s the process that ensures your suspension arrives correctly built, not generic or rushed.

Built to Your Riding Setup

Every SR1 set is configured before shipping so you’re not chasing settings — you’re refining a setup built around how you actually ride.

Peace of Mind

All Super Shox include a 30-day money-back guarantee and a limited lifetime warranty, giving you confidence in your purchase.

Super Shox Questions

How long does it take to receive my shocks?
Super Shox are built-to-order. Most orders ship in approximately 3–9 business days, depending on production volume. Each set is assembled and configured specifically for the rider, rather than pulled from shelf stock.

How are my shocks set up when they arrive?
Every set is configured to a recommended baseline based on rider weight and load before shipping. That means you’re starting in the right range from the first ride, with simple adjustments available if you want to fine-tune.

Do I need special tools or tuning knowledge?
No. Super Shox feature tool-free preload adjustment, making it easy to adjust for changes like luggage, a passenger, or different riding conditions — without specialized tools or suspension experience.

Will these change my ride height?
Super Shox shock lengths are listed by real-world ride height once installed and properly set up. Uninstalled shocks may measure slightly longer, but once installed and set to the recommended baseline, the bike settles into its intended ride height with proper sag and suspension travel.

Are these good for daily riding and commuting?
Yes. Super Shox are designed to perform across daily riding, weekend trips, and long-distance travel, adapting easily as riding conditions and load change. For loaded long-distance touring, SR2 LT is our recommended starting point.

What if I’m not sure which model is right for me?
Choosing the right model depends on how you ride and how your bike is typically loaded. If you have questions about fitment, ride height, or whether SR1, SR2, or RR1 is the best choice, reach out — we’re happy to help you get it right.
