Until recently, I was pretty happy with the set of aftermarket shocks that had been installed when my 2000 FXD was nearly new. However, when the shocks started to leak (my fault—I never had them serviced), it was an opportunity to try something new—the Öhlins STX36D Shock Absorbers. Öhlins is known as a top-of-the-line company founded in 1976 that provides suspension components for two- and four-wheel vehicles, and offers both racing and street products. In fact, the advanced technology used for on-road motorcycles is derived from racing applications where reliability, consistency and serviceability are absolute requirements.
