Product Description

The FOX 897-27-212 rear shock set is engineered as a heavy-duty suspension upgrade for Harley-Davidson Touring and FL-series motorcycles, offering superior ride quality and load-handling capability for years 1993 through 2025. Its gas-charged mono-tube design with Internal Floating Piston (IFP) ensures stable and consistent damping performance, even on long rides or under heavy load. The 3-position Quick-Switch Rebound (QSR) adjustment lets riders adapt the suspension behavior for solo touring, two-up riding, or heavy luggage - delivering versatility whether you're cruising on the highway or carrying a passenger and gear.

Thanks to the 13" eye-to-eye heavy-duty build, premium aluminum body, low-friction chrome shaft, and preload-adjustable spring seat, installation is a direct bolt-on replacement on compatible Touring/FL bikes with standard eyelet mounts. The heavy-duty coil spring gives better rear support for heavier riders or loaded trips, while the serviceable and rebuildable design ensures this suspension upgrade can be maintained or re-tuned over time. Overall, FOX 897-27-212 is ideal for riders seeking long-term reliability, improved ride stability, and customised comfort for touring, commuting or two-up riding.
