    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...

Hello everyone,

I sorely need to replace my rear shocks and I would like to but I can't find any with a clevis mount on the bottom that are rated for 215+ pounds.

Can anyone here throw me a clue so I can really pack my GS the way i need without the rear fender hitting the chainguard on bumps?

Thanks,

Try the Progressives with 175-215 springs.

You may have to ask for the heavier weight springs.
Or go to Progressive's web site and search under the spring sizes.

I run them on my S model, bought them 2 years ago.
They guy went out of business this year :( , he was a buddy.....

I also put Progressives on my E model, 150-175 springs.
I'm about 260 lbs, and my wife, No bottoming, handles sweet.
I run them on the 3/rd setting with my wife, I can run them on the 1 or 2
with just me, no problems.


The S model is a "rock" very stiff. Progressives in the front end also.
Seering damper, fork brace, 1100 swingarm, handles like a train on rails, but a stiff ride. works for me.....
 
Thank you KGB. I'll call Progressive today.
Do you know if I can just buy the springs and take the old ones off of my current stock shocks?
