                Shocks seem to work ok...probably better if I wasn't 240lbs!! They were about $100 on ebay.

                  I put those same shocks on my 1000 and I got what I paid for , I am 300lbs and they are so stiff I don't actually know if the shock works as I can not compress them.. I am going to get a set of Progressives and be done with it.

                        I'll tell you anything you want to know about. This was a very simple project if you can do some basic welding. Like I said I only put about $400 in parts and used the factory seat pan, frame, and rear
