Kodlin USA 1.5″ Lowering Kit For Harley Softail W/ Remote Pre-load 2018-2026
Tunable Drop: Kodlin USA 1.5″ Lowering Kit for Harley Softail (2018–2026) w/ Remote Preload
The Kodlin USA 1.5″ Lowering Kit is a high-quality rear suspension upgrade specifically engineered for the modern Harley-Davidson Milwaukee-Eight (M8) Softail platform, covering models from 2018 through 2026 that are equipped with the factory remote preload adjuster.
This kit allows riders to lower the rear end by a significant 1.5 inches for a custom, slammed aesthetic, while crucially retaining the functionality and convenience of the OEM remote preload adjustment knob for quick, tool-free tuning.
Product Features & Compatibility
This lowering kit is designed to work seamlessly with the unique monoshock and remote preload system of certain M8 Softails.
Lowering Amount: Delivers a specific 1.5-inch drop at the rear axle, creating a sleek, custom stance and improving ground reach for the rider.
Retains Remote Preload: The key selling point is its compatibility with the factory remote preload adjuster. The kit’s design ensures that the OEM knob remains fully functional, allowing riders to easily adjust spring preload for solo riding, two-up riding, or carrying heavy luggage—a vital feature often lost with other lowering methods.
High-Quality Construction: Kodlin USA utilizes precision-machined, high-strength components to ensure durability and reliable performance with the added stress of a lowered stance.
Specific Softail Fitment
This kit is targeted at the M8 Softail models equipped with the remote preload adjuster that came factory-installed:
Softail Models:
Fat Bob (FXFB / FXFBS)
Fat Boy (FLFB / FLFBS)
Breakout (FXBR / FXBRS)
FXDR 114 (FXDRS)
And similar models within the 2018–2026 range that use the remote preload knob.
Exclusions: Generally does not fit models with the basic, hidden, or non-adjustable coil-over shock found on models like the Street Bob, Low Rider S, or Slim, unless they have been retrofitted with the remote preload shock.
Installation and Considerations
Component Replacement: Installation involves replacing the factory shock clevis or linkage components at the base of the monoshock to change the geometry and achieve the 1.5-inch drop.
Ground Clearance: A 1.5-inch drop significantly reduces the bike’s lean angle. Riders must be mindful of reduced clearance for cornering and objects like speed bumps.
The Kodlin 1.5 Inch Softail Lowering Kit M8 is the premier choice for achieving a slammed look without sacrificing the necessary functionality of the remote preload adjustment on your high-end M8 Softail.
