New in the shop: suspension and air suspension for Harley

New suspension solutions for Harley: air suspension and classic shock absorbers for Softail, Dyna, Touring, Road Glide and Trike.

The suspension range at Medusa Bikes has grown significantly. New to the range are additional air suspensions and classic shock absorbers for various Harley platforms. This allows you to decide more precisely whether your custom build should focus on adjustable ride height, more comfort, sportier damping, or a specific rear profile.

Two different approachesAn air suspension allows you to change the height within the specified range. A classic shock absorber, by contrast, relies on fixed geometry and spring and damping characteristics tailored to the intended use.

Air suspension for M8 Softail and Touring

Vehicle-specific systems are available for M8 Softails and many FLH Touring models. Before purchasing, the model, year of manufacture, version, and any existing modifications must be checked. Space for the compressor, lines, and controls must also be considered in the planning.

Select Road Glide and Trike options carefully

Road Glides and Trikes have different requirements than a classic Softail. That is why there are dedicated suspension solutions for these platforms. For the Trike, the design of the rear axle also plays a central role; for the Road Glide, the exact model generation must be correct.

What you should know before buying suspension

  • Exact model, model year, and existing suspension version
  • Rider weight, passenger use, and luggage
  • Desired seat height and ground clearance
  • Tire, fender, and exhaust clearance
  • Already modified wheels or other suspension parts
Not just aestheticsA lower rear end changes ground clearance, lean angle, and ride geometry. Suspensions must be installed according to the manufacturer's specifications and inspected or registered accordingly, if required.
