The available stroke of 59 mm sets how much wheel travel the shim stack has to control. Öhlins uses a 36 mm piston here: more area, lower oil velocity, less heat generated for the same force. A 19 N\/mm spring comes fitted, and it is the first thing to reconsider if the rider is heavy or light. Compression and rebound are adjusted independently, so support under load can be set without changing how fast the wheel returns. Adjustment is by click rather than by feel, so a setting can be written down and returned to.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMaterials and Manufacture\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe eyelets carry spherical bearings rather than rubber bushes, so the damper is not fighting its own mounting. Öhlins machines its own critical components instead of buying them in, and the tolerances are where the money goes. Every unit is dyno-tested against the curve held for its part number, not sampled from a batch.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitted to the Sportster XL 1200 CB Custom Limited B\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 1200 cc the Sportster XL 1200 CB Custom Limited B makes enough torque to load the rear hard on corner exit, and the damper has to keep the wheel in contact while that happens. 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. A cruiser is often ridden two-up with luggage, which is the load case the standard suspension rarely handles well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere This Sits in the Öhlins Line-up\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlackline in the STX 36 range means black anodising and a black spring, with the 36 mm damping hardware unchanged. Servicing is identical to the standard STX 36. The finish suits classic and retro machines where chrome and black dominate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitment and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eÖhlins releases HD 751 against the Harley Davidson Sportster XL 1200 CB Custom Limited B (2013–2018). Öhlins lists no other machine against this number, so it is not a unit that can be adapted to a neighbouring model.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eRoad Approval\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRoad approval: ABE (Germany) for the Harley Davidson Sportster XL 1200 CB Custom Limited B.
