I just replaced a rear tire and when I was reattaching the bottom shock bolts on the stock shocks I had to jack the bike a smidge to get the second shock lined up to start the bolt.

When i ordered the shocks, i was told that they were waiting on parts and it would be at least two weeks before they could build and and ship them. I originally asked for a discount because I paid for the shocks through PayPal. Which charged my card right away.

I was told no discount, but they did offer a t-shirt instead.

Yes I know about the swing arm. The reason that I mentioned is that in the past with other brand shocks, I had to force the shocks to fit.

The Pro-Action have been very impressive so far.

Thanks for the update. Glad you are enjoying them. Great product and very knowledgeable people behind them.

I received and installed my rear shocks today. First impressions are fantastic right out of the box. I can't wait to dial them in a bit more, get more miles on them and to try them 2 up.
