The spring carries Öhlins number 00480-02 and can be exchanged for a different rate without replacing the damper. Length runs to 336 +10\/-0 mm, so rake and trail on the Sportster XL 883 R Roadster become something to dial rather than inherit. Öhlins quotes 96 mm of damper stroke for this fitment. Compression and rebound are adjusted independently, so support under load can be set without changing how fast the wheel returns. The two adjusters do genuinely separate jobs, which is what makes methodical setup possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitted to the Sportster XL 883 R Roadster\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis part number spans model years 2006 to 2016; earlier and later generations take different numbers. At 883 cc the Sportster XL 883 R Roadster makes enough torque to load the rear hard on corner exit, and the damper has to keep the wheel in contact while that happens. Cruisers carry weight low and long, with short suspension travel doing work that a sportbike would spread over twice the stroke.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMaterials and Manufacture\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMachining, anodising, assembly and testing all happen in the same building rather than across a supply chain. Spring and damper are separate part numbers, so a rate change does not mean a new unit. Materials read unremarkably on paper — aluminium, steel, nitrogen — and the difference lies in how precisely they are made.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout the STX 36 Blackline Range\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwin-shock applications are supplied as a matched pair. Servicing is identical to the standard STX 36. The STX 36 in Blackline finish: black anodised body, black spring, 36 mm damping piston.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitment and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eÖhlins releases HD 756 against the Harley Davidson Sportster XL 883 R Roadster (2006–2016).
