About this guide
“Bonneville” spans incompatible rear-suspension applications. This list is deliberately for water-cooled twin-shock Bonneville T100 and T120 models from 2016 onward where the manufacturer names the application. It does not treat an air-cooled Bonneville/T100/SE or a mono-shock Street Twin as interchangeable. Confirm the exact VIN model, year, ride height and luggage/ passenger load with the suspension maker before ordering.

Buying tips
- Match the maker’s exact application, not just eye-to-eye length; model families use different mounts, springing and geometry.
- A +10 mm or -10 mm shock is a deliberate ride-height change, not a harmless color choice.
- Set preload for rider and luggage load, then adjust damping one change at a time and record the baseline.
