12" Lowered Chrome Air Shocks For Harley Electra Glide 1980-17 Road King 1997-17

12" Lowered Chrome Air Shocks for Harley Electra Glide and Road King

This pair of 12 inch lowered chrome air shocks is a direct-fit suspension replacement that lets riders fine-tune ride height and spring rate with onboard air pressure, and it installs on Touring models in place of the factory shock assembly.

Overview

These 12 inch lowered chrome air shocks give Harley Touring riders adjustable rear suspension without the cost of a full custom setup. The air spring design lets you soften or stiffen the ride for solo cruising, two-up touring, or loaded saddlebags, and the lowered 12 inch length drops the tail for a planted stance. Riders running an Electra Glide or Road King will find these chrome air shocks an easy bolt-on change.

Built For Performance

• 12 inch eye-to-eye length lowers rear ride height compared to stock 13 inch Touring shocks
• Air-adjustable spring rate tuned by a simple hand pump or onboard compressor
• Chrome-plated shock body and spring hardware for corrosion resistance and show-quality finish
• Heavy-duty damper valving built to handle loaded touring weight
• Sold as a matched pair so both sides share the same spring and damping curve
• Bolt-on mounting points that match the factory Touring rear shock layout

On-The-Job Use

Specs At A Glance

Good To Know

Q: Do I need an air pump to set these shocks up? A: Yes, air pressure is what sets the spring rate, so a small hand pump or the factory onboard air system is used to dial in the ride for load and rider weight.

Q: Will installing 12 inch shocks change how my bike handles? A: The shorter length lowers the rear, which changes lean angle and ground clearance, so check clearance and consider a matching front drop before riding hard.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
