Despite all of your playfulness, I know you only do it because you all feel inferior to me. I have decided out of kindness to give you a rundown on my research process and what led upto it. When I lived in the colonies and bought the bike, the standard air assist shocks were never that impressive but were fine as the roads in the USA are damn well made, I had more concerns over the front forks and addressed this with single rate springs and better dampeners. I covered well over 30k miles like that and road all over the states. When I moved back to the U.K. I actually had use of a 950 Adventure for a year while a friend was working in S.A. so I left the Harley in storage in Georgia, the second year I had a Triumph Thruxton R which I really liked but wasn’t a distance bike, so I started making plans to bring the glide over. Almost immediately I realised that the rear shocks were no match for the pock marked cart tracks of Scotland but I soldiered on and eventually I decided to drain the shock oil and put a heavier weight in. This made a big difference but it was still far from good. So this last year I started researching rear shocks. I knew just about anything would be better than the standard units but the engineer in me meant I needed to learn all the differences in construction and price versus quality. I also wanted them sprung for my weight which is something that made a huge difference when I did the front end.

Getting trolled by a human toaster is a new low, even for me,

It’s probably to tall for you anyway.

Yeah, well he is a Mexican.

Shut it wetback.

Once they are fitted I will go hunting for sports bike riders to humiliate.

I saw he was a member here but we hadn’t heard from him for a while.

It will never leave the van.

It’s all very exciting, I will post pictures once I get them.

Go fuck yourself in the arse with your peg leg.

Will probably order my new shocks today, done my final research and taken a lot of advice and have come to a surprise decision.

@Beemer Bummer has hacked his account.

No, it’s worse.

At this rate it will be back on the road right about the time we run out of fossil fuels.

You can get the 500cc with dual tanks, it would be enough fuel for three years riding.

Rieju.

Going to the woods with that lot will definitely involve his ring.

As Christ said to Peter, “get thee behind me Satan” Is Pedro Mexican for Peter?
