Super Shox Premier (SR1) Long Travel | 17'-Present Road Glide 3 (RG3) Rear Shocks | Harley-Davidson

Super Shox SR1 Premier Rear Suspension

2017–2026 Harley-Davidson Road Glide 3 (RG3)

Long Travel Touring Suspension — Built Around Your Setup

Engineered For Trike Touring — Not a Generic Shock

The Road Glide 3 platform brings a different riding experience compared to traditional two-wheel touring bikes.

With added rear weight and unique handling characteristics, it requires a suspension system that’s properly tuned—especially when riding two-up or carrying luggage.

The Super Shox SR1 Premier system is built specifically for that demand.

Each set is:

• Hand-built in the USA
• Tuned to your rider + passenger + load
• Designed to improve comfort, control, and long-distance confidence

👉 This isn’t a universal shock — it’s built specifically for how you ride.

What Sets This System Apart

Designed For Trike Stability

Trikes carry a constant rear load, which changes how suspension needs to behave.

SR1 Premier shocks are tuned to keep the rear end:

• Planted
• Balanced
• Predictable

👉 Not overly soft, not harsh — just controlled and confidence-inspiring.

Increased Travel = Improved Ride

This setup uses a 14.5" long-travel shock to increase usable suspension movement.

That results in:

• Better absorption over uneven roads
• Reduced harshness on longer rides
• Improved control under load

👉 More usable travel means the suspension actually works instead of transferring impact.

Built To Your Exact Setup

Your shocks are not pre-built — they’re configured based on your real-world setup:

• Rider weight
• Passenger weight
• Riding load
• Tour pack / luggage

👉 That’s how you get a suspension that performs correctly — not a compromise.

⚠️ Exhaust Extension (If Required)

This system uses a longer 14.5" shock with increased suspension travel.

Depending on your setup, an exhaust extension may be required for proper clearance.

• If your bike already has a compatible extension installed, choose “Without Extension”
• If not, select “With Extension” to ensure proper fitment

Without proper clearance:
👉 The shock can contact the exhaust under compression

The extension ensures:

• Safe operation under load
• Full suspension movement
• Proper clearance throughout travel

👉 If you’re unsure, we verify every order before build to make sure your setup is correct.

Real-World Benefits

Riders typically notice:

• Smoother ride over rough roads
• Reduced fatigue on long-distance rides
• Better control when carrying passenger or gear
• More consistent, stable feel overall

👉 Especially important on trikes where rear weight is constant.

Installation

• Direct bolt-on shock replacement
• Exhaust extension required if needed for clearance
• Professional installation recommended

Why This System Differs From Older Trike Models

If you’re coming from an earlier trike platform (pre-2017), this setup is different for a reason.

Older models used air-assisted suspension systems.

Newer platforms like the Freewheeler, RG3, and SG3 use a dual shock configuration with different geometry and travel characteristics.

Because of these changes:

👉 Suspension systems are not interchangeable between older and newer models

This system is built specifically for modern trike platforms to ensure correct fitment and performance.

Why Clearance Matters

The longer shock increases available suspension movement under load.

That additional travel improves comfort and control—but also requires proper clearance.

Without it:
👉 The shock can interfere with the exhaust during compression

The correct setup ensures safe operation and full suspension performance.

Super Shox Questions

Do I need to fill out rider information?
Yes — your shocks are built using your exact inputs.

👉 The more accurate your information, the better your suspension performs.

What if I’m unsure what to select?
No problem.

👉 Every order is reviewed before build
👉 We’ll contact you if anything needs clarification

Why is there a build time?
These are not mass-produced.

👉 Each set is built and tuned for your specific setup

Is this better than stock?
Yes — especially on a trike platform.

Stock suspension is built for a wide range of riders.

👉 This is built specifically for your weight and riding style.

Can I run without an exhaust extension?
Only if your setup already provides proper clearance.

👉 If not, an extension is required to prevent interference

What if I order the wrong setup?
We help prevent that.

👉 Every order is reviewed before build
👉 We’ll reach out if anything needs adjustment

Final Thought

Trike suspension isn’t something you guess on.

When it’s set up correctly:
👉 The ride feels stable, controlled, and comfortable — even under load

When it’s not:
👉 You feel instability, harshness, and reduced confidence

This system is built to get it right the first time.
