The Best Harley-Davidson Shocks You Can Buy

There are motorcycles and then there are Harley-Davidsons. There’s just nothing like it. But what if we told you that there was a way to make the best touring bikes on the road even better?

At JRi, we’ve taken everything we’ve learned from building the world’s premier racing shocks and used it to produce the best shocks you’ll ever find for the legendary bikes. Keep reading to learn how and why JRi shocks for Harley-Davidson are worthy of the American classic’s legacy.

What Makes JRi Shocks for Harley-Davidson Superior: Our Story

We're car racing guys at heart here at JRi, but that doesn’t mean we don’t love our two-wheeled machines, too. It's that passion for motorcycles that pushed us to create shocks for our favorite bikes that made them feel and perform better, just as we’ve done for race cars for the last 40 years.

JRi racing shocks are known throughout the racing world for their precision, durability, quality, and performance. We built our Harley-Davidson shocks to those same standards.

JRi Harley-Davidson Shocks: Winning Qualities

There are a few things that set JRi shocks for Harley-Davidson motorcycles apart from the competition. In this section, we'll go over the defining qualities that put our suspension equipment in a class of its own.

Precision

Your shocks are the link between you and the wheels of your Harley. They play the key role in enabling you to control and maneuver the bike. That means you need them to do exactly what you want them to do. That requires precise fit and construction.

Our engineering team spends hours upon hours developing, testing, and refining the design of each Harley-Davidson shock to ensure the perfect fit. When you design racing shocks, you optimize performance by being as precise as possible. We think shocks for Harleys deserve that same level of attention to detail.

Durability

The whole point of a bike built for touring is to drive it for long distances. That means your shocks should be built to go the distance, too. 

At JRi, we design our Harley-Davidson shocks under the assumption that you’ll be putting a lot of miles on them. We use industry-best alloys and other materials to ensure that they’ll last over tens of thousands of miles of dusty desert highway, winding mountain roads, and anywhere else your journeys take you.

Built Quality

We manufacture our championship-caliber racing shocks right here at our headquarters in Mooresville, NC—the heart of racing country. It’s not that you can't get great gear made in other parts of the world, we just know that sometimes, if you want to do something right, you’ve got to do it yourself.

Making our shocks at home allows our engineering and design teams to work hand-in-hand with our manufacturing team. That lets us ensure that the shocks we make for Harley-Davidson motorcycles and every other vehicle are built to strict standards we set for ourselves. 

Performance

At the end of the day, whether it’s racing shocks or Harley-Davidson shocks, performance is the point. Your shocks are one of the most critical components on your bike, helping you steer and stop while also providing the damping power that keeps your ride smooth and comfortable over all those miles.

Decades of experience building shocks for the world’s top race car drivers taught us that making the right shocks is all about the right balance of comfort and responsiveness. That balance looks a little different for your cruising Harley than it does for race car drivers, but it’s the same idea. You want as soft and cushy a ride as possible while still retaining full control of your bike. That’s exactly what we deliver.
