DescriptionThe whole story▼

The Harley Davidson Road King FLHR of 2014–2019 has its own Öhlins part number, and this is it: HD 773. Damping that fades turns a predictable Road King FLHR into one that has to be ridden around.

Key Features

  • Monotube damper layout
  • 36 mm piston diameter
  • Delivered with a 25 N/mm spring, selected for the Road King FLHR
  • Direct fitment on the Harley Davidson Road King FLHR (2014–2019)
  • Spring part number 00280-68 fitted
  • Gas-pressurised monotube damper with the reservoir integrated into the body
  • 329 mm between mounting eyes
  • 92 mm of damper stroke

Damping and Adjustment

Öhlins specifies 36 mm for the piston on this number. The fitted spring is 00280-68, and Öhlins lists neighbouring rates under their own numbers. The fitted spring rate is 25 N/mm, chosen against the Road King FLHR's weight distribution rather than a catalogue average. Installed length comes to 329 mm. A single click produces a change most riders can detect, which is not true of every adjustable damper. Adjustment is by click rather than by feel, so a setting can be written down and returned to.

The Road King FLHR in Particular

Cruisers carry weight low and long, with short suspension travel doing work that a sportbike would spread over twice the stroke. The 2014–2019 generation kept the same chassis dimensions throughout, so one Öhlins number serves the whole run.

About the STX 36 Blackline Range

The STX 36 in Blackline finish: black anodised body, black spring, 36 mm damping piston. On a retro or a classic twin the black finish often looks more period-correct than gold, and nothing about the damping changes. Twin-shock applications are supplied as a matched pair.

How Öhlins Builds It

The Öhlins part number is stamped on the unit, so its specification can be looked up years later. The unit is rebuildable: seals, shims and oil are catalogue items, not a reason to buy a new one. Machining, anodising, assembly and testing all happen in the same building rather than across a supply chain.

Fitment and Compatibility

Part number HD 773 and the Harley Davidson Road King FLHR (2014–2019) belong together; other model years take other numbers. Nothing about it is generic — the mounting dimensions alone rule out a different model.

Road Approval

Road approval: a German ABE covers this part on the Harley Davidson Road King FLHR. Fit it, keep the certificate with the vehicle papers, and nothing further is needed.
