Rear Shocks (Read 245 times)

Boston Biker YaBB Newbies Offline Posts: 2 South Shore, MA Gender:	Rear Shocks 04/15/09 at 04:59:15 Any suggestions about a replacement shock to use to soften the ride on an '07? Even with the shocks on their softest setting the ride is harsh for a light rider.

They're VERY comfortable and only bottom out on large bumps with a passenger. A million times better than stock even if i did get ones a bit light for me. The stock shocks just suck no matter what setting you're on.
