4-WAY ADJUSTABLE SHOCK ABSORBERS
  • Restore the handling ease and performance lost due to work shocks and springs
  • Enjoy a smoother, more stable ride
  • Dual chrome-plated springs look as good as they perform!
High-gloss black painted showroom shine and black plastic top spring cover. Black plastic shield protects painted shock body against scratches.
  1. Shocks and springs are custom matched to your cycle. No mistakes when matching up shocks with springs.
  2. 4-way preload adjustment lets you easily adjust shocks from soft to firm. Simply adjust cam with shock wrench (Included)...;no need to demount shock, no dismantling and no changing of springs.
  3. Springs are made of strong heat-treated spring steel to relieve internal stress and resist fatigue.
  4. Self-adjusting nylon-band piston seals form a positive seal to reduce bind and compensate for temperature variations. Also help lock out dirt.
  5. Multistage velocity-response valving controls fluid flow during compression and extension.
  6. Multistage replenishing valving for instant response to rebound with better dampening control.
  7. Hydraulic rebound stop (cushion of oil) helps prevent topping out on extension stroke to ensure smooth energy absorption.
  8. Low-viscosity index oil damping fluid is compounded to reduce wear, control aeration and resist fading even under the worst conditions. Shocks have 1-1/2" diam. body, smooth inner cylinder walls for less friction and increased shock life and polished metal top spring clip. Each shock has an upper and lower spring, each with a different rating. Dual springs (instead of one) ensure a more effective response, better shock absorption, longer spring life and a more comfortable ride. Springs can be adjusted from 160 to 190 lbs. Sold in pairs only.

Limited (12-month) Warranty: An exchange of shock absorbers and springs will be made (not including installation costs) if shock absorbers and springs wear out with 12 months while the original purchaser owns the motorcycle on which the shocks/springs were originally installed.

79 Goldwing 87 Vulcan SE,

Pros: Price Fitment
Cons: Rubber bushings
"I have put these on both my 79 Goldwing and my 87 Vulcan SE. I rode the Vulcan for about two years with the shocks and I had no problems. I then sold the bike. Now I have a 79 Goldwing and when I put them on the difference was amazing. Unless you are going to change all related rear suspension parts for a complete restore, these are a great alternative to $400.00 plus shocks. If you're looking for a $400.00 improvemnet in ride, these are not for you, but if your tired old Asian shocks need replacing, go for it. You'll notice a huge difference. Howver, order new stcok rubber bushings or plan to reuse your old ones. The one's that come in the kit are pretty cheap and they were a struggle with both the Vulcan and the Wing.
Overall, I have bought them twice, and I would buy them again."

Fit my Voyager XII just fine, 
November 8, 2010
By Anonymous
from California
Pros: Price
Cons: Springs perhaps a little weak for a full dress bike.
"I have owned my Voyager since new in 1986. 231,000 miles. I replace the original air shocks at 60,000 with Progressive Suspension standard shocks as the air shock were too pricey plus I never have really seen an advantage of air shocks over standard spring adjustable shocks except the air is easier to adjust. I replaced those with another pair of progressive about 160,000 miles when they began to leak. When It became time to replace those at 230,000 the price had gone up so much that I decided to look for a less expensive alternative.
These shocks fit just fine. The two stage spring does cause the bike to sit lower. I can raise it by setting the pre-load higher. I will see how they work with a fully loaded machine. I may decide to put my original springs on these shocks, but time will tell. They could be a little wimpy for a fully loaded machine. The shock unit itself is slightly smaller diameter than the Progressive units, however the dampening action seems good.
We will see how long they last, but if you are looking for a mechanical alternative to $400 air shocks, these may work out for you."

Absolutely horrible, don't work, 
August 30, 2010

Pros: they are black.
Cons: they do absolutely nothing.
"I bought these back when they were $89 to replace the OEM shocks on a 750 Nighthawk. They previously were $59. They barely move at all. Setting one end of the shock on the ground, and with the preload set to the lowest setting, you can barely compress it more than 3mm by pressing on it. They simply do not compress, even when riding. After riding for several weeks my back was so messed up I had to stop riding for 2 weeks. Basically the same thing as strutting your bike. PLEASE DO NOT BUY THESE IF YOU PLAN ON RIDING YOUR BIKE."

Pros: I put them on my 1981 yamaha 650 maxim. they fit perfect !
Cons: look good , but wish they were all chrome like factory.
"They raised my bike about an inch , but my old ones were shot , so its probably back where its suposed to be. The ride and handeling was impoved 100 %. No more botoming out on big bumps ! They are alot stiffer , even on softest setting ,but ride great with passenger."
