Fitted to the Road King Police FLHP FL3

Öhlins covers the 6-year production run of this generation with a single part number, which means the mounting and the linkage stayed unchanged across it. Short travel and substantial mass are a hard combination: there is little room to absorb anything, so damping quality matters more.

About the STX 36 Blackline Range

On a retro or a classic twin the black finish often looks more period-correct than gold, and nothing about the damping changes. The finish suits classic and retro machines where chrome and black dominate. Twin-shock applications are supplied as a matched pair.

How Öhlins Builds It

Service parts stay available for years after a part number leaves the current price list. Machining, anodising, assembly and testing all happen in the same building rather than across a supply chain. Materials read unremarkably on paper — aluminium, steel, nitrogen — and the difference lies in how precisely they are made.

How It Behaves on the Road

Öhlins uses a 36 mm piston here: more area, lower oil velocity, less heat generated for the same force. Öhlins builds it to 329 mm between the eyes for this chassis. Stroke is 92 mm, which is the travel Öhlins has to work with on this linkage. 25 N/mm is the rate Öhlins selected after testing on the Road King Police FLHP FL3. Compression and rebound are adjusted independently, so support under load can be set without changing how fast the wheel returns. Öhlins publishes a baseline setting for each part number, which is the sensible starting point.

Fitment and Compatibility

What follows applies to the Harley Davidson Road King Police FLHP FL3 built 2014–2019, which is the machine HD 773 is listed for. It is model-specific rather than universal: length, stroke and valving are all set for this chassis.

Road Approval

Road approval: the Harley Davidson Road King Police FLHP FL3 is covered by a German ABE for this part number. The certificate is supplied and should stay with the vehicle documents.
