Performance Adjustable
- Who it’s for: club-style / performance cruiser shops and premium dealers
- Stock first: Dyna performance movers + 1–2 Touring upsell SKUs
- How it makes money: margin pickup via “stance + control” upsell story
Premium Touring Load-Control
- Who it’s for: bagger/touring dealers focused on two-up + luggage riders
- Stock first: flagship load-control SKUs + spare-parts policy clarified
- How it makes money: higher ASP + fewer comfort complaints → strong repeat orders

Suspension Upgrades for Harley Davidson Touring Family
Engineered for the long-distance haul. These iconic models demand exceptional load management and comfort to support two-up riding and fully-laden luggage over extended trips.
The Limits of Stock Suspension
- Load Management Failure: Factory suspension struggles with two-up riding and luggage, leading to frequent bottoming-out and unpredictable handling over highway undulations.
- Ride Harshness: Lack of refined compression damping translates into sharp jolts and discomfort when encountering square-edged bumps and expansion joints.
Kingham Tech Engineering Advantage
- Hydraulic Preload Adjustability: Integrating a hydraulic system for quick, tool-free adjustment of sag, ensuring optimal ride height is maintained regardless of passenger or luggage weight.
- Nitrogen-Charged Monotube Design: Utilizing a single-tube design with nitrogen charge for superior heat dissipation and consistent, fade-free damping throughout long-distance cruising.

Performance Solutions for Harley Davidson Dyna
Engineered for power and aggressive riding. Celebrated for its powerful engine, unique handling, and strong presence in the custom bike scene, the platform demands stability for high-speed riding.
Performance Deficiencies of Stock Unit
High-Speed Instability: The frame and stock suspension struggle with the engine’s power output at speed, causing excessive wobble, especially in sweeping corners.
Limited Cornering Capability: Restricted ground clearance and poor rebound control limit lean angle, forcing riders to reduce speed significantly through turns.
Kingham Tech Engineering Advantage
Performance Monotube Shocks (Rear): High-end monotube design with adjustable rebound and compression to deliver aggressive cornering capability and precise chassis control.
Increased Ground Clearance: Specific shock lengths are available to raise the ride height, maximizing lean angle potential and preventing scraping under spirited riding.

H01201 BLACK
Suspension Upgrades for Harley Davidson Sportster
Engineered for agility and urban performance. This lightweight, versatile model is the perfect foundation for custom builds, demanding suspension that sharpens cornering precision and provides a more controlled, planted feel.
The Limits of Stock Suspension
Harsh Ride & Low Travel: Stock units often have limited travel and simplistic damping, resulting in a harsh, uncomfortable ride that struggles with everyday road imperfections.
Cornering Imprecision: The lack of refined damping control causes excessive chassis movement, leading to vague steering input and reduced confidence when leaned over.
Kingham Tech Engineering Advantage
Enhanced Damping Rod Kit (Front): Front suspension upgrades utilize superior valving technology to improve hydraulic control, eliminating front-end bounce and dive without sacrificing comfort.
Progressive Rate Springs (Rear): Rear springs are engineered with a progressive rate curve to improve small bump absorption while maintaining the low-profile stance desired by custom builders.
