Default Bitubo shock update

got the Bitubo shocks i ordered in from Traxxion Dynamics. installed them and of course night and day difference im a guy who loves the corners no wollering from the rear in corners
ordered the stock length i measured the rear height with the stock shocks with just the bike weight the Bitubo's with proper spring for my weight 270 raised the rear 7/8 of a inch im sure due the sagging rear shocks. definitely no bottoming out well worth the 450$

Yes, I contacted DK also, same issue, only in Black and 8-10 weeks to order. Maybe it is only 2 of us that are not trying to totally black out our bikes.

Thanks

Dig my recently installed 14” Bitubos.

Traxxion is really solid, bought a kit from them and wanted to try a different damper rod, they shipped the set out same day I inquired.

Dan and the team are good dudes to work with.
