    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

11EZ rear shock replacement

What shocks do people use to replace the stock 1982 11E units?

I'm talking straight bolt in replacements - no welding, no spacers, no modifications at all.
 
I'm pretty sure mine are 412 Progressive. Springs are 1368 105/150. 13" bolt to bolt.
 
I have Ikons on mine. Put them on 15+ years ago, so I don't have any info, but it was a direct swap.
 
A979CB8D-3ED9-43C6-87EC-32BBF1D3004F.jpgAnother satisfied Ikon customer here, just replaced the 41 year old rears on my 81 GS850G, which look to be the same mode for an 1100, but the page I compared them on doesn’t list the 1100EZ specifically.

13” eye to eye - “Ikon Dial-a-Ride 7610-1418 Code 204 black springs tri-rated 18/25/33 nm” and wow, what a difference.

I love that they are rebuildable and the dial-a-ride settings actually do work, unlike my ancient originals!
