FOX RC-1 Rear Shocks for Harley-Davidson XL Models, 13.5-Inch, Part Number 897-27-017

The FOX RC-1 V-twin rear shocks are designed to maintain damping control throughout your ride. The internal floating piston is housed in an external reservoir to separate the shock oil from the nitrogen gas so they can never mix like stock shocks. The piggy back reservoir also has adjustments affecting the compression and rebound so you have all the controls you need to dial in the perfect ride.

Upgrade the suspension performance of your Harley-Davidson with FOX RC-1 V-Twin rear shocks. Designed for a 13.5-inch fitment, these gas-charged mono-tube shocks provide consistent damping control throughout the ride. The FOX internal floating piston (IFP) separates shock oil from nitrogen gas, preventing the two from mixing and helping maintain dependable performance under changing riding conditions.

The FOX RC-1 features an aluminum piggyback reservoir with independent compression and rebound adjustments, giving riders the ability to fine-tune ride quality and handling. The 24-position compression adjustment and 12-position rebound adjustment allow precise suspension setup, while spring preload guide marks simplify adjustment. The model-specific ride tune is engineered for compatible Harley-Davidson Sportster applications and is recommended for a total ride load of up to 240 pounds.

Built for long-term serviceability, each shock uses a 6061-T6 aluminum body with Type III hard anodizing, a low-friction super-finished hard chrome shaft, and advanced high-flow deflective-disc velocity-sensitive damping. The FOX RC-1 shocks are fully rebuildable and revalvable, making them a practical performance upgrade for riders seeking adjustable and maintainable rear suspension. This pair fits 2009-2010 Harley-Davidson XL883N Iron 883, 2011-2012 XR1200X, 2014-2017 XL1200T SuperLow Touring, and 2016-2017 XL1200CX Roadster models. Manufacturer part number: 897-27-017.
