1960 FLH Shock Absorber Cartridge part no?
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.

Re: 1960 FLH Shock Absorber Cartridge part no?
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.
