#482796 coot53 (User) E=Mc1700 Platinum Boarder Posts: 1717 Need rear shock/spring comparison info 5 Years, 10 Months ago   so I can make a semi- intelligent chioce on one. I see that there are a few different ways to go, and I would like to hear the good, bad & ugly from the guys that have them. Here's what I found doing a quick search Progressive 465 at around $560 Ohlins 46 DLRS at around $900 Tricky air $805 Air FX $953 I'm not really sure if I want to go with the air ride, And the Ohlins price is quite a bit more than the progressive are they worth it   Logged     [img size=150][/img] Cooter Scooter 06 Roadstar   The administrator has disabled public write access. #482800 smokescreens (User) lifes better riding twins Platinum Boarder Posts: 17430 Re:Need rear shock/spring comparison info 5 Years, 10 Months ago   well, I love my air ride. but have no experience with a progresive. Honestly you should be happy with either choice I can say both my wife and I are very happy with the airride it soaks up so much of the bumps you barely tell you hit them but it does take some time to figure out how much air works for you when you first get it then you know just when to turn it on and off. Me solo let the bike get to full ride height and let the pump go 5 more seconds, 2 up I let it go 10 seconds and its spot on.   Logged     Last Edit: 2012/04/23 19:54 By smokescreens.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #482802 greenpus (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 3215 Re:Need rear shock/spring comparison info 5 Years, 10 Months ago   465 is $370 with free shipping   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #482827 btbeam (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 884 Re:Need rear shock/spring comparison info 5 Years, 10 Months ago   Is a progressive spring on the stock shock in the mix? I did that and I see a huge difference in the ride I did front and rear   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #482841 Curt (Moderator) Never to old to ride! Moderator Posts: 22378 Re:Need rear shock/spring comparison info 5 Years, 10 Months ago   Tried all of them and ended up with the Tricky Air for the last two years.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #482844 Edge51 (User) 2000 Roadstar Platinum Boarder Posts: 5447 Re:Need rear shock/spring comparison info 5 Years, 10 Months ago   greenpus wrote: 465 is $370 with free shipping +1 and I had mine installed Fri..have about 125 miles on it so far..really like it so far..still playing with settings..   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #482960 coot53 (User) E=Mc1700 Platinum Boarder Posts: 1717 Re:Need rear shock/spring comparison info 5 Years, 10 Months ago   Good to hear, I've been following your thread. The only thing that has me concerned about the air ride is that it's another thing to go wrong, and usually at the wrong time & place. I like to simplify when I can. Anybody use the Ohlins shock/spring setup They make good stuff, But I find the price hard to justify   Logged     Last Edit: 2012/04/24 09:08 By coot53.   [img size=150][/img] Cooter Scooter 06 Roadstar   The administrator has disabled public write access. #482961 smokescreens (User) lifes better riding twins Platinum Boarder Posts: 17430 Re:Need rear shock/spring comparison info 5 Years, 10 Months ago   coot53 wrote: Good to hear, I've been following your thread.

This is the route I am looking to go, just change the spring not the entire shock.   Logged     American by birth...
