Rear shocks..Sportster / Savage ??
11/19/05 at 19:29:46

I just bought a pair of sportster rear shocks ( used ) they are 11 1/2 in long, The Savage is 10 1/2 in long..The springs on the sporty shocks are smaller diameter than the savage...What pair will give the best ride ?? Im over 250 lbs Yes a big boy !! Do I go with the larger spring diameter or the taller shock...The sporty shocks are new take offs...It may be a month before I am able to try them both out...I just thought someone else has tried both sets............

I am just over 200, and the sportster shocks are better than the stock shocks, and the progressives 412's are better than both. I just bought a pair of almost new progressive 418's on ebay and I am VERY ANXCIOUS to get them on my Savage. They should be here by Tuesday, and I don't
care if it is raining when it arrives...I am going to put those things on as soon as I get them.
