I weigh about 240 and when I take the wifey somewhere the stock shock isn't what I would like it to be. Please don't ask what the wifey weighs because I don't know but it's a lot less than me. Was wondering if any of you guys have one and how you like it.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #69152 DocShadow (Admin) Hmmmm .... send beer Admin Posts: 11034 Re:1000 lb Shock 9 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Shock .... need to keep wifey happy. You'll find a big difference with shock upgrade.

I pretty much figured that it would prevent the frequent botteming out but how does it affect the handling? My bike is a 99 model and when I go somewhere such as Branson with my friends, I always rub the foot boards a few times while they breeze right on through the curves.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #69163 Txlineman914 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 72 Re:1000 lb Shock 9 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Check your preload.. I used to bottom out alot when 2 up and was able to adjust my preload and don't bottom out anymore..

Platinum Boarder Posts: 1512 Re:1000 lb Shock 9 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Go for a "Progressive spring" it rides nice 1 up and progressivally (a word??) gets stiffer as you add weight so you always have a good ride. My wife and I are VERY happy with mine. If you are riding right on the curves you should ALWAYS scrape Steven   Logged     2005 Midnight Silverado   The administrator has disabled public write access. #69203 Big Bear (Moderator) All things in moderation!

Platinum Boarder Posts: 1137 Re:1000 lb Shock 9 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Yeah, I agree with everyone else...do the spring. And BB is right on the scraping. Just finished a ride in Highlands, NC and left about 8 oz. of footboard on the twisties up there.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #69219 hardone2get (User) Just ride would ya!

Fresh Boarder Posts: 89 Re:1000 lb Shock 9 Months, 3 Weeks ago   I got the 850 - 1200lb progressive spring and am as happy as a pig in sh*t. The big test was when I took the 16 year old big boy out on the back and we did the twisties. Only scrapped the frame once. Should have done it alot earlier.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #69242 hardone2get (User) Just ride would ya! Expert Boarder Posts: 543 Re:1000 lb Shock 9 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Is there a procedure here on the forum for replacing the spring?   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
