Öhlins sets a baseline for each part number on the machine it was developed on, so it works before anything is adjusted. Materials read unremarkably on paper — aluminium, steel, nitrogen — and the difference lies in how precisely they are made.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Sportster XL 1200 CB Custom Limited B in Particular\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCruisers carry weight low and long, with short suspension travel doing work that a sportbike would spread over twice the stroke. This part number spans model years 2013 to 2018; earlier and later generations take different numbers. The 1200 cc engine sets how quickly weight transfers, and damping has to be matched to that rather than to a class average.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDamping Performance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe available stroke of 59 mm sets how much wheel travel the shim stack has to control. The fitted spring rate is 19 N\/mm, chosen against the Sportster XL 1200 CB Custom Limited B's weight distribution rather than a catalogue average. Overall length is adjustable within 296 +10\/-0 mm, enough to change rear ride height and with it how quickly the Sportster XL 1200 CB Custom Limited B turns. A 36 mm piston gives the oil a large working area, so the force curve stays flat as temperature rises. Preload is set separately again, and preload is what determines static sag rather than damping. The adjuster range is usable end to end rather than only around the middle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere This Sits in the Öhlins Line-up\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe STX 36 in Blackline finish: black anodised body, black spring, 36 mm damping piston. Servicing is identical to the standard STX 36. On a retro or a classic twin the black finish often looks more period-correct than gold, and nothing about the damping changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitment and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eÖhlins releases HD 752 against the Harley Davidson Sportster XL 1200 CB Custom Limited B (2013–2018).
