Bitubo 13” shock review
#31
Hope to add to the conversation as placed order for 13" Bitubo on Friday, scheduled to be delivered Tuesday. Im 230lbs, wife 140 and I ride solo 75% of the time on my 2013 FLHTC. This was all input on the DK site for my custom setup as well. Will get a couple pics of initial settings. I have half assed it for long enough having went from stock air to cheapest Progressive 412 (12") thinking I wanted the lowered look, im sure it only took away any gains the Progressives made. I could dial them in ok for just me but was not good on wifes back when we would hit larger dips/heaves and holes. Fingers crossed for a great outcome, this and other threads have me hopeful! I fully realize I will be addressing the fronts soon too.

thanks for this feedback. My situation is exactly like yours - 250lbs, mostly interstate, ride solo and need Cadillac type ride due to hip arthritis. Can you remind me of your specific shocks and setup please. I have Progressive 944 HD and need to replace them since I have lost lots of weight and the HD shocks are too stiff for me know.

So I went through bitubo's website and it looks like they have a fork kit
http://www.bitubo.com/Bitubo/cms/ENG...t/33-jbh1.html
http://bitubosrl.zucchetti.com/Bitub...o-oil-car.html
It has preload, comp, and rebound. Was able to reference HD004JBH12WO on ebay and found a selling selling the kit for about 580. Not bad price for other kit thats sells for even more

Shocks came in yesterday, time to do some wrenching. Good looking product and seems to include everything I need. Preset sag with 5 threads showing and rebound at about 3. Note that this setting is a sliding scale setting, not just 1, 2,3 etc.
Was a bit surprised that box came all taped up but then duh, its opened new and setup then re-packaged so don't be surprised like me.
