    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.

Hey,

Can't find anything on these. They seem a little old, and a little funky. They are two seperate springs, and the bottom looks like it has an adjustment knob for rebound, stiffness, ride hieght or something of that nature! Any information is appreciated!

We've seen those on here once before... someone asking the same question. If I remember correctly they were rare & not much good but I could be wrong...

The 2 springs is just a way of making them "progresssive". Looks like a preload adjuster at the bottom to me... the pic is not the best :)
 
Those are street strokers, think I bought them out of Dennis Kirk. I have a pair on my bike with the 150lb springs on them. They work very good, they have been on my bike going on ummm 20 some years and are strong as ever, even with two up riding. I believe Progressive Suspension bought them out later in the 80s.

STREET STROKERS?! The name alone makes me want to keep em. They'll hold up well with some TLC. Everything checks out on em so I'll reuse them for this project.

Street Strokers..... Wow, I was born in 87 but my soul resides in 76 freakin Street Strokers. Amazing

Thanks for the info! Anyone Know a good way to paint springs? Flex Primer, Flex Acrylic, Flex Clear???
 
The sticker said street something, in reflective blue when I saw them last. But it is a little bit chewed up (The Sticker) Any way to tell if they're genuine and not cheapie knock-offs? Or are Street Strokers already the knock off?
 
There wouldn't be any reason to produce knock-offs. They were a good shock that wouldn't break the bank.
