Title: 275lb. Shocks?
Post by SavageMan99 on 03/07/22 at 08:19:59

I need to find a pair of shocks for this year. Tall and for a heavy guy. The ones I have are basically unusable. Serious sore butt from bottoming out.
I'm curious about the air charged shocks I see all over the place, with the cannisters on them.
I've got to do something, that's for sure.

I got early intruder shocks, they're bolt on and taller, got them on the softest setting and I'm 240.

I'm not sure I can find those. I need something I can mail order.

Verslagen, how is the ride with those? I’ve been meaning to raise this question before, and we’re (now) about the same weight since I’ve dropped 45 pounds!  Any insights you can provide will be appreciated. How much taller are your shocks than standard? Any photos you can share?

They are about 12" long
I have them on the lightest setting and they don't bottom out.   8-)
I have several road bumps that cause different pains with each when using the stock shocks... but I don't remember where they are any more.   :)
