Frequently Asked Questions
Can I adjust preload without special tools?
Yes — the five-position cam-style adjuster can be turned by hand to dial preload up or down for your weight and riding style.
What's the difference between standard and heavy-duty springs?
Standard springs suit lighter riders; heavy-duty springs handle heavier loads and two-up riding without sagging. Choose based on your combined rider and cargo weight.
Will these improve my bike's handling?
The nitrogen-charged damping and progressive valving smooth out bumps and reduce wallowing compared to worn stock shocks, improving both comfort and control.
Do these come with chrome covers?
The base shocks have a black finish. Show Chrome covers are optional on select applications — check fitment availability when ordering.
How long do these shocks last?
The double-wall steel construction and sealed nitrogen charge are designed for long-term durability. Service intervals depend on riding conditions and load.
