DescriptionThe whole story▼

The Harley Davidson Road Glide Ultra CVO FLTRUSE of 2014–2016 has its own Öhlins part number, and this is it: HD 773. Damping that fades turns a predictable Road Glide Ultra CVO FLTRUSE into one that has to be ridden around.

Where This Sits in the Öhlins Line-up

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. The finish suits classic and retro machines where chrome and black dominate.

Why This Machine Needs It

The 2014–2016 generation kept the same chassis dimensions throughout, so one Öhlins number serves the whole run. A cruiser is often ridden two-up with luggage, which is the load case the standard suspension rarely handles well.

How It Behaves on the Road

At 329 mm it matches the standard unit's installed length exactly. At 36 mm the piston is large enough that the shim stack, not the orifice, decides the damping. Öhlins fits a 25 N/mm spring to this number; riders far from average weight should expect to change it. 92 mm of stroke is what the Road Glide Ultra CVO FLTRUSE's linkage allows, and the shim stack is set for exactly that. Öhlins publishes a baseline setting for each part number, which is the sensible starting point. Adjustment is by click rather than by feel, so a setting can be written down and returned to.

How Öhlins Builds It

Spring and damper are separate part numbers, so a rate change does not mean a new unit. Öhlins sets a baseline for each part number on the machine it was developed on, so it works before anything is adjusted. Öhlins machines its own critical components instead of buying them in, and the tolerances are where the money goes.

Fitment and Compatibility

Öhlins releases HD 773 against the Harley Davidson Road Glide Ultra CVO FLTRUSE (2014–2016). Because the settings are model-specific, fitting it to a related machine would mean running the wrong specification.

Road Approval

Road approval: unclear. There is no published German approval for this part on the Harley Davidson Road Glide Ultra CVO FLTRUSE, and we would rather tell you that than imply one exists.
