well i went out today for a nice long test, and mother f===er i stopped the bike to adjust preload, and then bam turned the key on and nothing happened lost all power. so after many bikers stopped to help me, one guy had a multimeter we could not get it going at all. so 4 hours later i am home after getting a ride back here then taking my truck to the bike and flagging down people to help me load it. thank god i was only 20 miles away from home. well my review so far has been plauged with bull crap but the 20 miles i did get in where great, the rear tire stuck to the ground the whole time on the bumpy potholed roads here in pa, and it felt great in the turns.. more to come once i find out what is wrong with this pos electrical system. i am just thankful for the great people who took time out of there ride to stop and help me. |

thats bad luck. know how you must feel. hey your bike & the new shock look great, thats a good feature being able to ajust shock length. i have that on my Race Tech shocks on my Dyna. |

thanks lakes, yeah i adjusted the length so it would raise the back end up a little bit, it feels great so far. |

Sorry if you told already.....what battery took a crap from bikemaster?? I got a brand new gel blue case from them.....wouldn't hold a charge at all. I bought it for my RZR and every time I would go to start it it would be dead.......sucked. |

well the same one you just bought,the blue gel one.. they are sending a replacement one so i will try this one ,one more time sonce they sent me another one without a receipt or proof of purchase. all i have to do is send mine back to them. i am hoping that they had a bad batch of batteries maybe. |

well i got out on the bike today for 2 hours or so on the crappy back roads here in pa, i must have hit 5000 potholes and nasty hump in the road, i am very pleased at how the shock kept the tire on the road in these conditions, i even got to jump it a little without meaning to and it handled it great felt awesome. i took a quick 120mph run down along the delaware river over some nice rolling humps and very fast sweeping curves, it was glued to the road and i never felt any sort of lack of grip very smooth and forgiving action. i have not had the chance to ride with a works shock yet but the twin shock is much better then the stock one. i am very happy with my purchase on the whole. now i just need to be sent some twin stickers |

Thanks for the update 01x1buell, your lucky you can do 120mph there. here in Australia we used to be able to but now speed camera's everywhere, they really over police speed here. but some great roads to ride. i road for around 8 months with the stock shock & covered around 10,000k ( 6,000mile) had to do rear wheel bearings front issolator, fitted billit front engine mount Ohlans steering damper have the three stabilizers fitted & a Stenzel bar, also put new Bridstone Battleax tires, then i broke the main sharft in stock shock, got a new stock M2 L shock, have ridden 3,000k on it so far and it feels a lot better. just have to wait & see. got it to 111mph standing quarter yesturday in 4th gear am happy as thats the fastest speed quarter mile so far. when i first got it it only did 97mph quarter mile trap speed, plus a friends XB did 108mph trap speed & my motor is stock just decked the barrels & it only has the 2" headers so restrictive pipe. |

Here's Beardo's shock. Looks really great! He's put a few miles on it since installing it so hopefully he'll share his experience with us after he puts more on.

Gotta love a shock absorber that absorbs shocks. |
