Slammer Shocks

Made famous by the Burly Slammer Kits, the stubby Burly shocks are now available individually. Measuring in at only 10.5 inches eye-to-eye, they live up to their name and are available in black or chrome for most Sporties and Dynas. 
Burly Slammer Shocks may be short, but they are well thought out and are travel limited to prevent tire/fender contact. Five-position preload adjusters allow for fine tuning to rider weight for optimum feel. Fitment is available for 1988 and newer Sportsters as well as 1991 and newer Dynas at an MSRP of only $199.95.

The 46mm bore shock is also stuffed with features like deflective disc damping, threaded body and a five-position rebound adjuster. Setting it up to perfectly match a rider’s weight and riding style is now just a few clicks away. The kit includes remote mounting bracket and is available in stock height and lowered applications for Road Star, KLR650, Raider, ST1300, V-Strom, M109R, BMW and more for $745.90.
