    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.

New Shocks

Just installed these shocks I got from Salty Dog, thanks Dan. Went for a short ride. What a difference. The bike feels more planted in corners and is much smoother all around. I am going to let them settle in and then start experimenting with the adjustments. The springs feel a little stiff right now. I am going to back off the preload and see if that helps. All in all I am real happy with the shocks. Between the shocks and the progressive fork springs the old girl rides like new.

Brand ?

Brand ?

Joel, Jim I looked all over the shocks and could not find any brand information. There is a decal on the shock body warning about high pressure. They seem well built and look to be rebuild able. Jim you right for the price there was no way to go wrong. I'll update this thread after I get some miles on them.
 
They supposedly use a "standard" oil seal... but I didn't pull them apart. No I'm not sure of the manufacturer either but they seem decent enough.

I still have the set of the black & gold Eye to eye shocks if anyone is interested (these are the ones that really look like Ohlins).

I can't get any more of these shocks I don't think.

Dan :)
