Öhlins identifies the spring as 00360-04. Öhlins builds it to 296 mm between the eyes for this chassis. The available stroke of 71 mm sets how much wheel travel the shim stack has to control. Adjustment is by click rather than by feel, so a setting can be written down and returned to. Preload is set separately again, and preload is what determines static sag rather than damping.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout the STX 36 Twin Range\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRetro and classic machines often carry a pillion regularly, which is why the preload range matters more here than on a sportbike. Öhlins offers several body and spring finishes in this range because the shocks are visible on the machines that use them. Twin-shock installations load each damper differently from a monoshock, and Öhlins specifies the pair accordingly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMaterials and Manufacture\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eÖhlins 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. The unit is rebuildable: seals, shims and oil are catalogue items, not a reason to buy a new one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSetting It Up for the Sportster XL 1200 CA\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis part number spans model years 2013 to 2016; earlier and later generations take different numbers. A 1200 cc machine of this type sits in a specific weight band, and Öhlins picks the spring rate for that band rather than for the platform. A cruiser is often ridden two-up with luggage, which is the load case the standard suspension rarely handles well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitment and Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eÖhlins part number HD 145 is the correct number for the Harley Davidson Sportster XL 1200 CA as built 2013–2016. 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: the Harley Davidson Sportster XL 1200 CA is covered by a German ABE for this part number.
