No wonder they were to stiff I had them on the 2nd stiffest setting. I guess I was in a hurry lol

Very nice! The solid shock goes well with your chrome fork sliders and the pipe.

Got to put about 200 miles on them today and they are nice improvement over stock. They arent the best shocks out there but for the money they are a nice improvment and look great.

I don't think the shocks will help the wobble. Mine don't. They may reduce the amount of up and down excursions that can add to the wobble, but only a truetrack or posi-track is gonna take the wobble out.... if you have it.

While I know I dont ride as aggressive as some I think I do ride more aggressive than most and mine has never had much of a wobble (yet anyway). It gets it a little but not bad. I dont think the shocks are going to help regardless but It does feel like the *** end stays better planted.

Anybody with experience ?

I'll make a new post about it too
