Title: Shocks Post by SavageMan99 on 05/25/19 at 10:51:27 I put heavier shocks on the bike. Not heavy enough. Id like the heaviest out there, for a 350lb'r. Not that I am, but i do have large saddle bags. Taller would be good to, as I plan on nodding the seat. :P |

Title: Re: Shocks Post by ohiomoto on 05/25/19 at 11:48:03 Cool. Let us know what you find, how they ride and post pics. |

Title: Re: Shocks Post by batman on 05/25/19 at 12:24:42 I run Progressive 412's , you should keep in mind that the spring rates listed on their site are for each shock , and they can be found in extended lengths. 11" would give 1 inch more travel over the stock shocks 2 inches, and be adjustable . |

Title: Re: Shocks Post by SavageMan99 on 05/28/19 at 20:04:41 What site to shop them on is recomended? 12 inch, 175lb. shocks maybe? |

Title: Re: Shocks Post by verslagen1 on 05/28/19 at 21:28:34 get intruder shocks vs700 or 800 they fit, a good deal longer, and at 250 lbs I'm riding on the 1st notch. |

Title: Re: Shocks Post by batman on 05/28/19 at 21:41:25 Progressive has there own site ,go there first and get their stock number, then shop around for the best price . my 12 " heavy duty where 412-4238-c for example. These shocks are made to fit a number of different bikes so be sure to buy a bushing kit ( about $10) which contains a selection of different sizes that will adapt them to any bike. . |

Title: Re: Shocks Post by justin_o_guy2 on 05/30/19 at 15:44:42 Does the sidestand need anything added when the taller shocks go on? The only not ancient, rusty ones are imported from Italy or U.K.,, Under twenty bucks for freight. Kinda sounds Too good to be true. That's pretty much the very high end of my price range, but I'd Do it.. If people who have experience with this kinda stuff say It doesn't look like a bear trap. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Suzuki-VS700-Intruder-1991-1992-YSS-Twin-Shocks-RD222-320P-10/292766826433?epid=17017182961&hash=item442a433fc1:g:OKkAAOSw~R1bRyHS&redirect=mobile https://www.ebay.com/itm/Suzuki-VS700-Intruder-1991-1992-YSS-Twin-Shocks-RD222-320P-10/292766826433?epid=17017182961&hash=item442a433fc1:g:OKkAAOSw~R1bRyHS&redirect=mobile |

Title: Re: Shocks Post by Dave on 05/31/19 at 03:08:29 The bike will lean over a bit farther when on the stand.....you do need to try and park in a way that doesn't put the stand downhill. The suggestion was to get factory Suzuki 800 Intruder shocks - nobody knows for sure what you get with the replacement stuff from China. You may not be able to find a nice set in one visit.....that is why I suggested that you watch for a while - with patience you will likely find a very nice/affordable set. This set looks pretty good: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1992-2004-Suzuki-Intruder-VS800GL-VS800-VS-800-Rear-Back-Shock-Absorber-Set/173914772464?fits=Model%3AIntruder+800&hash=item287e20d3f0:g:xS4AAOSw3FFc6v0g |

Title: Re: Shocks Post by verslagen1 on 06/11/19 at 09:33:17 Give a man a set of shocks and he will ride until they wear out. Teach a man how to find a pair of compatible shocks and he'll search forever. |
