Don't look at Ohlins own site! Believe or not they haven't made shocks for Harleys for as long as HDF sponsor Howard at Motorcycle Metal has. He is an authorised Ohlins dealer and custom builds a wider variety of shocks than Ohlins themselves sells. Give him a call and I'm sure he can fix you up - as well as offer you an HDF discount. I have a 1990 Glide with a pair of his early shocks - they're great!

Give me what length you want, what is your maximum stroke before your caliper hits the rear fender (if my memory serves me correctly), what technology do you want (Piggyback, Emulsified, in line separated piston, et Al) than the usual questions listed on my build sheet, than give me a call for the cost. I build it for you. You got me #.
