Why Upgrade?

Factory Showa suspension on Touring models is designed for comfort but often lacks the damping control needed for spirited riding, heavy loads, or two-up touring. The Öhlins FKS 228 cartridge kit addresses these shortcomings with professional-grade damping technology that dramatically improves front-end feel, eliminates excessive dive under braking, and provides confident handling through corners. The ability to fine-tune compression and rebound separately allows you to dial in the perfect setup for your riding style, whether you're solo sport-touring or loaded down for cross-country trips.

Note: Part Number FKS 228 (same as FKS 231). Kit includes cartridges and springs. Installation tools, fork oil, lowering spacers, and standard height spacers sold separately. Does NOT fit Road King or Electra Glide Highway King due to headlight nacelle clearance. Does NOT fit CVO models with 21" front wheels. 2023+ Road Glide, Street Glide, and Ultra Classic models require modification to plastic fork cap covers for installation.
