### 2002–Present Harley-Davidson Road Glide

**Remote-Adjustable Touring Suspension — Built Around Your Rider Profile**

---

## Maximum Control for Riders Who Want More Adjustability

The Super Shox Platinum RR1 takes the comfort and control of the Premium Series and adds a wider range of external suspension adjustment.

RR1 is built for Road Glide riders who want to adjust how the rear suspension responds as the road, pace, and motorcycle load change.

It is an excellent choice for:

- Long-distance touring
- Two-up riding
- Tour Pack and loaded-luggage setups
- Rough pavement and changing road conditions
- Aggressive cornering and mountain roads
- Riders who want more control over suspension feel

Every set is configured around your rider weight, passenger use, normal luggage load, bike setup, and riding style.

## Dual 8-Position Compression Adjustment

RR1 features **dual 8-position compression adjusters**, giving you a broader tuning range than the SR1 or SR2 series.

You can select a softer setting when you want a more relaxed, comfortable ride or increase compression control when riding loaded, carrying a passenger, or pushing harder through corners.

This allows you to adapt the suspension for:

- Solo riding
- Two-up touring
- Added luggage or a Tour Pack
- Smooth highways
- Rough backroads
- Faster, more aggressive riding

You are not rebuilding or revalving the shocks every time your riding conditions change. The external adjusters let you refine the suspension as needed.

---

## Remote Adjustment Where You Can Reach It

The RR1 remote adjusters are positioned near the passenger footpeg area, making suspension adjustments convenient and accessible.

This is the defining advantage of RR1: you can make meaningful changes to compression damping without removing saddlebags or reaching into a difficult area around the shock.

---

## What RR1 Improves

RR1 is designed to keep the rear suspension controlled without making the motorcycle unnecessarily harsh.

Riders can expect:

- Better control over large bumps and hard impacts
- Reduced wallowing through long sweepers
- More stability when carrying a passenger or luggage
- Improved rear-tire contact over uneven pavement
- Less suspension movement when riding aggressively
- A smoother, more composed ride over long distances
- Greater control over how firm or compliant the suspension feels

The result is a Road Glide that feels planted, predictable, and easier to trust when the pace or load increases.

## LT vs SL — Choose the Right Configuration

RR1 is available in LT and SL configurations. The right option depends on your factory shock length, desired ride stance, and suspension goals.

### LT — Long Travel

LT is the best choice for riders who prioritize maximum usable travel, comfort, and control.

The 14-inch LT configuration provides approximately **3.5 inches of suspension travel** and works with the Super Shox relocation mounting system.

LT is especially well suited for:

- Long-distance riding
- Two-up touring
- Loaded saddlebags or Tour Pack setups
- Rough roads
- Riders who want maximum suspension performance

On motorcycles originally equipped with 13-inch shocks, LT generally settles approximately one-half inch lower because of its properly configured sag. On motorcycles with 12-inch factory shocks, LT generally maintains approximately the original ride height while providing additional usable travel.

### SL — Lower Ride Stance

SL is designed for riders who want a lower rear stance while retaining premium ride quality and external compression adjustment.

The 13.5-inch SL configuration provides approximately **3 inches of suspension travel** when used with the relocation mounting system.

The exact change in ride height depends on your motorcycle’s original shock length. We review every order before production to make sure the selected configuration matches your Road Glide and intended stance.

## Rider-Specific Suspension Setup

Super Shox does not rely on a basic standard-versus-heavy spring choice.

Your RR1 shocks are configured using your actual riding information, including:

- Rider weight
- Passenger weight
- How frequently you ride two-up
- Tour Pack or luggage use
- Typical riding load
- Motorcycle model and year
- Riding style

This provides a correct starting point before the shocks ever reach your motorcycle.

---

## Tool-Free Preload Adjustment

In addition to external compression adjustment, RR1 includes easy-to-adjust graduated spring preload.

Preload can be changed when your motorcycle load changes, allowing you to compensate for a passenger, luggage, or different touring setups.

A setup guide is included so you have a dependable baseline instead of guessing where to begin.

---

## Spherical Bearing Mounts

Super Shox uses spherical bearing mounts that allow the suspension to move naturally as the motorcycle leans and the chassis moves.

Compared with a traditional rubber-bushing mount, this design helps reduce binding and supports smoother suspension movement, consistent traction, and a more connected feel through corners.

---

## Built and Tested in the USA

Every Super Shox RR1 set is:

- Made in the USA
- Hand-assembled
- Dyno tested
- Configured for its intended rider and application
- Inspected before it leaves production

This is not a generic imported shock with a spring selected from a limited weight chart. RR1 is built and tested around the motorcycle and rider information provided with the order.

---

## High-Performance Internal Construction

Super Shox combines its rider-specific setup with performance-focused internal components and engineering, including:

- Deflective-disc valving
- Separated gas chamber
- High-strength, low-friction shock shaft
- Consistent damping performance
- Anodized components
- Easy graduated preload adjustment
- Application-specific spring and damping configurations

The system is designed to resist cavitation and maintain consistent suspension control across changing road conditions.

---

Installation

RR1 is designed as a bolt-on rear-suspension upgrade for compatible Harley-Davidson Touring models.

Depending on the selected configuration, the system may include Super Shox relocation mounts engineered to provide the necessary shock angle, saddlebag clearance, and suspension travel.

Professional installation is recommended to ensure:

- Correct mount orientation
- Proper fastener torque
- Adequate exhaust and saddlebag clearance
- Correct preload baseline
- Full suspension movement without interference

Always check tire, fender, exhaust, saddlebag, and hardware clearance throughout the complete suspension range after installation.

---

## Built to Order

Super Shox RR1 shocks are built specifically for your motorcycle and rider profile rather than pulled from generic shelf inventory.

**Typical shipping time: 3–12 business days**

Build times may increase during peak riding season. This production time allows your shocks to be assembled, configured, tested, and checked before shipment.

---

## Every Order Is Reviewed Before Production

Dreaded Iron Moto reviews every Super Shox order before it is submitted for production.

If your model, year, load information, or selected configuration does not appear to match, we contact you before the shocks are built.

You are not ordering an expensive suspension system blind.
