1960 FLH Shock Absorber Cartridge part no?

#1

Post by Wrong Road »

Does anyone have the OEM part number for the 1960 panhead rear shock cartridges? Or know where I can find it? I have looked in the Knowledgebase without success. Thanks in advance. I have seen some threads regarding shock solutions but they don't provide info on NOS parts or workarounds.

Basically because there are none. Regretfully the aftermarket and OEM suppliers both have not felt it a financial opportunity to provide replacement parts for any obsolete H-D shocks. So the option list is quite short, modern replacements, or many hours, days,weeks,months, years, looking for OEM stuff.
Sorry, but that is all I have.

Thanks Panhead! I had checked there but oldest part listed is a 53534-73 for 73-81 FLH. Would the 1960 part be 53534-58 for introduction of duo shocks?

The shock cores have been obsolete since the early 70s. Have a look at the 13 1/2" Progressive Suspension shocks.
