Busted Softail Shocks
So anybody ever experience busted Softail shocks? A buddy of mine was riding 2 up on his ’06 FXST to a local bike night tonight and all of a sudden he said he started dragging the license plate on the rear tire. After we ate we went out to look at his bike and when he sat on the bike the back fender just about bottomed out on the rear tire. I got down on the ground and looked at his shocks and they looked intact, bolts not loose nor busted, shock can not loose, but when he sat on the bike the center chrome shaft moved like 2 inches. Is it possible to break a shock spring?
