10" struts with spring seat???help!!!!
so i have the burly 10.5's on my iron with a spring seat but the shock are redunkulas!!!! they either bottom out or way to hard.... so whos got struts and comments????
I would say they probably are just to stiff. I have the licks 2G 10" rear shocks and they don't move hardly at all. I am only 120lbs though. A real stiff ride. They do have adjustments on them, check your settings to see if they are on the stiffest or softest setting.

Another thing to consider with struts is that if you hit a big enough bump it can actually bounce your rear tire off the ground and cause a traction issue. Its rare, but looking into a small stiff option like Licks 2G (as cpracing519 recommended) is a much safer option although what you have is pretty similar.
As I said before though, it all depends on where you are riding. I dealt with my struts for about 6 months... I would have changed them back, but I was just lazy. There is a company on ebay that sells a decent set of struts for about $30, so I'd say just get a cheap set to try that way if you don't like em, you're not out a ton of money.
Good luck.
