DescriptionThe whole story▼

The Harley Davidson DYNA WIDE GLIDE FXDWG in its 2009–2017 form takes Öhlins part number HD 763. The unit it replaces was chosen when the DYNA WIDE GLIDE FXDWG was costed, not when it was developed.

  • Adjustable compression damping at the reservoir

  • Piston measuring 36 mm across

Materials and Manufacture

Anodising is hard-coat rather than decorative, which matters on a component exposed to road salt and stone chips. Every unit is dyno-tested against the curve held for its part number, not sampled from a batch. Shafts are hardened and surface-treated so the seal has a consistent surface to run against.

What This Means on the DYNA WIDE GLIDE FXDWG

Öhlins covers the 9-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.

The STX 36 Blackline in Detail

The STX 36 in Blackline finish: black anodised body, black spring, 36 mm damping piston. The finish suits classic and retro machines where chrome and black dominate. Blackline in the STX 36 range means black anodising and a black spring, with the 36 mm damping hardware unchanged.

Damping Performance

The spring carries Öhlins number 00281-73 or 66419-032 and can be exchanged for a different rate without replacing the damper. Öhlins specifies 36 mm for the piston on this number. The fitted spring rate is 33 N/mm, chosen against the DYNA WIDE GLIDE FXDWG's weight distribution rather than a catalogue average. 68 mm of stroke is what the DYNA WIDE GLIDE FXDWG's linkage allows, and the shim stack is set for exactly that. A single click produces a change most riders can detect, which is not true of every adjustable damper. The two adjusters do genuinely separate jobs, which is what makes methodical setup possible.

Fitment and Compatibility

What follows applies to the Harley Davidson DYNA WIDE GLIDE FXDWG built 2009–2017, which is the machine HD 763 is listed for. Öhlins lists no other machine against this number, so it is not a unit that can be adapted to a neighbouring model.
