Default Hard Drive piggyback shocks?
Often sold under Racing Bros name; anybody try these? Got 14" Bitubos right now- they are Ok, better than Legends I had before but a little wimpy for my suddenly fat *** ( gained 20lbs between calculating my suspension needs and finally getting 'em installed :>( .Only Ohlins I can find in 14"+ are custom jobs for big $$$

According to trackerdie these are delayed due to high demand. Recommend to contact directly to rwd. Easy to work with.

Their parts are actually legit. Have no experience with them but people riding the shocks have only good things to say. Thats what Ive read. Cant compare Taiwanese quality with Chinese quality, theyre two completely separated countries... lol too political :P

Russ Wernimont Designs here in So Cal. Super nice folks. I personally run Ohlins on my HDs, but I do run his fenders on my bagger.
