Default Revo A shine 2 up!

I’ve used different aftermarket rear shocks, on my current bike I had Legend install their Rebo A shocks (2022 RGL). Definitely an improvement riding solo. Currently on a road trip in northern New England with my wife. If you haven’t ridden up here, some of the country mountain roads have “frost heaves” like you wouldn’t believe. I adjusted the shocks 2 full turns for 2 up riding and just an unbelievable improvement from the last time I was on these roads with these shocks. We are riding 2 up loaded with gear ( about 30-40 ills worth). My wife and I weigh a combined 330 lbs. The ride is plush, no bottoming out and even the worst ruts don’t unsettle the bike at 40-45 mph. You can hardly even feel the railroad crossings.

That is good to know! I know of the frost heaves you speak about as those roads are in my backyard! My wife almost flies off the bike everytime I hit one. But, I just installed Revo-A's yesterday so hoping for a big improvement.
