Title: twin rear shock
Post by: moonrunnah on December 16, 2012, 05:53:29 PM
has any one changed the mono shock for two shocks i was thinking the elctra glide air spirng/shock to make easy adjusting for weight, i know i would have to make mounts to hold them???? any thoughts

Thats an interesting thought. I was thinking along  similarlines myself,but instead of shocks,twin lock up struts (with a long swingarm)for a drag/street bike. What had me concerned was the load being taken on thru a bolt on seat subframe assembly? I didnt do it in the end,but would like to see if anybody else has done the shocks idea?

Isn't dual-shock a synonym for old? What possible advantage is there to dual shock?

(I realize that the XJR is dual shock, but I am equally baffled by that choice...)
