Model-Specific Optimized Ride Tune

Upgrade the rear suspension performance of your compatible Harley-Davidson Softail with the FOX Powersports FOX897-27-208 shock set. Developed with a model-specific ride tune, this set of two shocks is engineered to deliver controlled damping, improved suspension response, and a more composed ride across changing road conditions. The integrated high-flow, deflective-disk damping design uses velocity-sensitive valving to help manage suspension movement while maintaining consistent performance.

Each shock features a contrast-cut aluminum billet preload adjuster and spring seat for precise ride-height and spring-preload setup. A quick-switch three-position rebound adjustment allows riders to tailor suspension response for comfort, control, and changing loads or riding conditions. The IFP-QSR design supports controlled damping performance in a compact package suitable for the listed Harley-Davidson applications.

The FOX Powersports FOX897-27-208 is intended for select 2018 Harley-Davidson Softail motorcycles, including Fat Boy, Sport Glide, Softail Slim, Street Bob, Breakout, Fat Bob, and Low Rider models with 107 or 114 engines.
