Default Shocks

They may be listed as Sporty shocks, but Howard builds more combinations than are listed on Ohlins website

Do Howard's #2 series shocks have adjustable sweep valves to adjust the damping?

No the #2 shocks only have adjustable preload. You have to move up to a #3 shock for adjustable damping.

Give Howard a call, he has a #2.5 or #2 adjustable that has the adjustable sweep. I was looking at them but would have had to wait on parts at that time so I went with the #3's which he was able to build immediately.

He doesn't list those, that is why it pays to call him.
