      Thanks for the tip those'll fit my bike perfect.

      The ones I got are "54-58mm" but my 58mm shocks stretch them so much they're starting to crack.

        No. The truck is dark grey. Maybe I should paint it to match.

              Those RFY shocks are know for being shipped without much oil in them & there are some other weaknesses. The "piggyback" is usually just a fake. They aren't all the same even though they look the same....

              They are just a cheap shock made to look fancy. I ran some for a few weeks on the 1000. They weren't terrible. I got them at source (in China) so they were relatively unkown then but shortly after they appeared on every retro-mod in the land!

              There is a few guys that will do some work on them for you if they are still going but for my money if I wanted something that looked like that I'd get some YSS units.

                Not sure if Chris is still revalving/upgrading the RFY shocks but a couple years ago saw reports of many positive results.
