Product Description
Öhlins NIX 22 Front Fork Cartridge Kit for Harley Fat Boy
Transform the front suspension of your Harley-Davidson Fat Boy with the Öhlins NIX 22 Front Fork Cartridge Kit. Designed to install inside the factory Showa fork legs, the FKS 222 brings Öhlins race-developed suspension technology to the Milwaukee-Eight Fat Boy for improved handling, braking stability, comfort and rider confidence.
The NIX design separates compression and rebound damping between the two fork legs, allowing each cartridge to focus on a specific damping function. This provides more precise suspension control and helps reduce excessive brake dive while keeping the front tire better connected to the road through corners, bumps and hard braking.
External compression, rebound and spring preload adjustment give riders the ability to fine-tune the front suspension for rider weight, riding style and road conditions. Multiple spring rates are available so the suspension can be properly matched to the individual rider rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all setup.
The FKS 222 installs inside the original front forks, retaining the factory Fat Boy appearance while delivering a significant improvement in suspension performance.
Fitment

Note: Verify your exact motorcycle model and factory fork configuration before ordering.
