    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.

Would Norton Commando shocks (12.9") work for us?

after what seems like a never ending world of motorcycle shocks, I came across Norton Commando 850 shocks, which are 12.9" eye to eye and are CONSIDERABLY cheaper than any gs850 shock... by basically half price..
I'm still new to this so I was just wondering what you all thought, check it out.

Yes, 12.9" eye-to-eye would be fine (assuming they have 12mm or 1/2" mounting eyes).

However, these appear to be the same Chinese-made MDI/Emgo shocks sold for about the same money for GS use.

The word on these is that unless you're over 200 pounds or so, the MDI/Emgo shocks are much too harsh.
 
The third one down is a progressive MK 2 12 series for $176, how does that price compare to our GS progressives?

I've read a lot about the MDI/Emgo's but wouldn't know just by looking at them, definitely won't work for my 135/140lbs.

thought I found something.. :-k
