Default Need help with shocks!
My RK rear tire keep bottoming out when I ride over a bump, after a couple of day after I pumped up my rear shocks. Any suggestions. I't really getting on my nerves. Thanks!

qhog there is a thread on here where a guy refilled his shocks with a heavier 7.5/10 wt synthetic oil to improve damping. this allows the shock to work without damping. send me an email addy and ill forward it

If you can't fine the leak, get some mid to upper priced progerssive non air shocks.

Skip the Progressive's, I've had them on 3 bikes and although much better than stock the Works Street Trackers are even better IMHO.
