I was looking through the JC Whitney catalog and found some shocks that looked good.
Unfortunately JCW doesn't give any specs, they want you to order by the bike you have
(probably to avoid mistakes and returns). So I noticed on the side it said Emgo and did
a search for those and found some!
They say they have"
Multistage velocity-response valving controls fluid flow during compression and extension.
Multistage replenishing valving for instant response to rebound with better dampening control.
Low-viscosity index oil damping fluid is compounded to reduce wear, control aeration and resist fading even under the worst conditions. Shocks have 1-1/2" diam. body, smooth inner cylinder walls for less friction and increased shock life and polished metal top spring clip. Each shock has an upper and lower spring, each with a different rating. Dual springs (instead of one) ensure a more effective response, better shock absorption, longer spring life and a more comfortable ride. Springs can be adjusted from 160 to 190 lbs. Sold in pairs only."
So should be better than stock. The only problem is we need 12.75" Eye to Clevis, they only have
eye to eye in that size. You can use longer but the slope of the seat will increase. Best to get the
shocks then mod the seat?
