Default preload adjuster

Which 2014 touring bikes have the manual suspension preload adjustment? On p.91 of my owner's manual but not on my scooter (unless I'm blind).

Your correct, your has the standard HD air shocks and not the hand adjustable versions.

The Limited Low, Classic Low, Street Glide Special and Road Glide Special all have the Hand Adjustable shocks.
But they are all also the "low" version at 12" and not the 13" version.

My 2014 Ultra Limited FLHTK has them. Wonder why yours doesn't?




Oh, wait. That's right, I upgraded to Premium Suspension pieces front & rear.

While not the same as what I installed, the '14 SGS came standard with the shorter 12" Premium hand adjustable shocks.

Are you talking about the rear suspension? if so the SGS does the SG comes with air shocks.


I think the ultra classic and limited have air shocks, maybe someone can chime in.


If you look behind the left side bag you should either see an air fitting or a hand dial.


Your salesman should have covered this with you.

Yes, they come standard with Air Shocks.
I did install the Premium 13" Hand Adjustables on my 14 Limited. They have been on 3 different bikes now.
