Super Shox SR1 Premier 14.5" Rear Shocks | 2009–2016 Harley-Davidson Tri Glide

Super Shox SR1 Premier Rear Shocks

2009–2016 Harley-Davidson Tri Glide Ultra

14.5-Inch Long-Travel Trike Suspension — Built Around Your Setup

Super Shox SR1 Premier rear shocks are engineered specifically for Harley-Davidson Tri Glide models. Each set is configured around your rider weight, passenger weight and typical touring load—not pulled from a shelf with a generic setup.

For 2009–2016 Tri Glide riders, that means improved suspension control across rough pavement, expansion joints, corners, inclines and long days carrying real touring weight.

Built Specifically for Harley Tri Glide Touring

A Harley-Davidson Tri Glide carries substantial rear weight even before adding a passenger, loaded Tour-Pak or additional gear. Its suspension must control that weight while keeping the ride comfortable, planted and predictable.

Super Shox SR1 Premier Tri Glide shocks are designed to provide:

• Smoother response over rough pavement
• Reduced harshness through bumps and expansion joints
• Better stability and control under load
• Less side-to-side disruption on uneven roads
• Greater confidence through corners and inclines
• Improved comfort for both rider and passenger

SR1 remains the correct Super Shox platform whether you ride solo, two-up or fully loaded for a long trip.

Why Super Shox Recommends 14.5-Inch Shocks

Super Shox recommends the 14.5-inch SR1 setup for most Tri Glide riders. Its additional usable suspension travel gives the rear suspension more room to absorb bumps and control the weight of the trike.

Benefits include:

• Increased suspension travel
• Better bump absorption
• Improved stability and handling
• Better muffler clearance on inclines
• More controlled performance under passenger and luggage load

On 2009–2016 Tri Glide models, the 14.5-inch configuration can raise the rear of the trike compared with the original suspension. Final ride height depends on the motorcycle’s existing setup, rider load and configured preload.

The 14.5-inch shocks install using the factory shock mounting locations. They should not be combined with a separate trike lift kit—the longer shocks replace the need for one while providing additional suspension travel.

Built Around Your Rider and Load

Every SR1 set is configured using your actual riding information:

• Rider weight
• Passenger weight
• Solo or two-up use
• Typical Tour-Pak, luggage and gear weight
• Motorcycle model and year

This provides an appropriate starting setup from the first ride. Preload can then be adjusted to account for changes in passenger or luggage load.

Your information is reviewed before the shocks are submitted for production. If anything appears incorrect or incomplete, Dreaded Iron Moto will contact you before the build moves forward.

Made in the USA and Individually Tested

Every set of Super Shox SR1 Premier Tri Glide shocks is:

• Precision-machined in the USA
• Hand-assembled
• Individually dyno-tested
• Serial-numbered for traceability
• Built with application-specific spring and damping configurations

This is rider-specific American-made suspension—not a generic replacement shock.

No Exhaust Extension Required

The Super Shox extension pipe is designed for the longer catalytic-converter configuration used on applicable 2017-and-newer trikes.

It is not required for the standard 2009–2016 Tri Glide installation covered by this product.

Your exact model year and setup will still be reviewed before production.

What Tri Glide Riders Can Expect

Many Tri Glide riders upgrade because the factory suspension feels harsh, unsettled or tiring over imperfect roads.

A correctly configured SR1 setup can provide:

• A smoother, more composed ride
• Less harsh impact through the seat and handlebars
• Better control with a passenger or loaded Tour-Pak
• A more planted rear end through corners
• Reduced fatigue during long-distance riding
• More predictable handling across changing road surfaces
• Improved muffler clearance on inclines

The objective is not simply to make the suspension softer. It is to improve comfort while maintaining the control a heavy three-wheel touring motorcycle requires.

Installation

• Direct replacement using the factory shock mounting locations
• No exhaust extension required for the standard 2009–2016 installation
• Do not combine the 14.5-inch shocks with a separate lift kit
• Shocks mount inverted to provide access to the preload adjustment collar
• Professional installation is recommended if you are not comfortable performing suspension work

Lifting the rear of the Tri Glide to unload the suspension makes preload adjustment easier. Once the preferred setting is established, most riders can find one setting that works well across their normal solo and two-up riding.
