Super Shox Premier SR1 Rear Shocks
Harley-Davidson Trikes (2009–2016)
Super Shox SR1 Premier Series rear shocks are hand-built in the USA and designed specifically for Harley-Davidson Trikes from 2009–2016, including Tri Glide, Freewheeler, and CVO variants.
Trikes carry more weight, see more load variation, and punish stock suspension harder than most riders expect — especially on broken pavement. SR1 is the rider-friendly upgrade that improves:
- ride comfort
- stability and control
- passenger confidence
- long-mile fatigue reduction
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 for Trikes = Comfort + Stability Without Overthinking It
SR1 is built for trike riders who want a major upgrade over stock without turning their suspension into a complicated project.
Every set is built-to-order and configured to a rider-specific baseline using:
- rider weight
- passenger weight
- typical load and touring setup
That means you’re not guessing. You’re starting with a setup that already makes sense.
Direct Bolt-On Installation (No Modifications)
SR1 is a direct bolt-on replacement for compatible Harley-Davidson trikes.
- no relocation brackets required
- no cutting or permanent modifications
- straightforward installation
Professional installation is recommended to ensure proper setup and best performance.
What Trike Riders Notice First
Stock trike suspension often feels harsh, limited, and under-controlled — because the bike is heavier and doesn’t have the same forgiveness as a two-wheeler.
SR1 helps fix what trike riders complain about most:
- harsh rear hits over bumps and potholes
- less tailbone fatigue on long rides
- more planted rear end on rough pavement
- less wallow and “bounce” when loaded
- smoother, more stable passenger experience
Many riders don’t realize how much the stock setup is holding the bike back until they ride a properly built shock.
Tool-Free Adjustability (Made for Touring Loads)
Trikes are all about load changes — gear, passenger, tour pack, weekend vs long trip.
SR1 includes:
- tool-free preload adjustment
- a setup chart included
- easy adjustment between common load situations without guesswork
SR1 is Ideal For
- Tri Glide and Freewheeler riders who tour regularly
- Riders who carry a passenger or gear often
- Daily cruising + weekend trips
- Long-distance touring where fatigue matters
- Riders upgrading suspension for the first time
- Anyone who wants comfort + stability without complicated tuning
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.
