#439822 Chadmans06 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 41 Rear Shock 1 Year, 6 Months ago   Hello guys, I am new to the forums as well as new to roadstars. I picked up an 06 not to long ago and been going over it since it has some surface rust here and there but runs great. Long story short I removed the swingarm for blasting and powder coating and noticed the rear shock is pretty rusted. I don't know if I should be to worried or if I should look for another one. I was wondering what years will fit exactly also. Thanks for your time guys and ride safe.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #439824 smokescreens (User) lifes better riding twins Platinum Boarder Posts: 10378 Re:Rear Shock 1 Year, 6 Months ago   1rst from MI as for the shock if its the spring that is rusted you can change out the spring and still use the shock. if you change out the whole thing i wouldn't buy a stock shock (unless its used but in good shape and cheap) if you go with a new shock i would look into a progressive shock..... or go with a tricky air ride   Logged     feel free to look thru my albums email me at jasonwoody1982@yahoo.com my 2005 midnight 1700 ORIGINAL ROAD SLAMMER   The administrator has disabled public write access. #439846 6hrtbt3 (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 692 Re:Rear Shock 1 Year, 6 Months ago     Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #439850 Rev.

Spring and shock are not rusted. I tightened mine when I bought it for my Wife and I to ride together. It's fine for us,but if I was to replace, I would get a Progressive Spring and Air Shock.   Logged     [img size=150][/img]http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/k636/tarcon1/photo.jpg[/IMG]   The administrator has disabled public write access. #439879 Tug (User) ride free. live free. or die tryin Platinum Boarder Posts: 4997 Re:Rear Shock 1 Year, 6 Months ago   from seattle wa if it ain,t broke don't fix it. but if it is then +1 on progressive   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #439881 Curt (Moderator) Never to old to ride! Moderator Posts: 14928 Re:Rear Shock 1 Year, 6 Months ago   Chadmans06 to answer your question all years are the same. If your are worried about rust clean and paint it if it rides good. If you don't want to do that I have the stock setup off my 05 from when I put my Trickey Air Ride on.   Logged     My Site Black Ice is Shiny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #439901 Chadmans06 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 41 Re:Rear Shock 1 Year, 6 Months ago   Thank you guys for all your replys and the warm welcome to the forums. Curt, I really wish I could get the air ride for my bike, it looks sick. How much does it run any how? Also I haven't gotten to ride it much yet since I have been tearing things of for powder coating and checking it over. If I was to stick with the stock for now, how much would you want for your stock Curt? I just want to make sure its all good because I can care less if I am on it and something happens, I just don't want it to happen if the wife is on board you know.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
