    emgo rear shocks?

    I need to change my rear shocks but dont want to spend 250+ on them.I ride alone and only weigh in at 150 so I was thinking of the emgo rear shocks that crc.online has.they are 89 bucks a set and would be better than the 23year old ones I have now.has anyone ever tried these or should I save my money for some high priced ones?

    You might want to try the search function for more info but from what I've read, they are okay shocks and a good value.

    To measure is to know.

      They are one step above twenty-three year old stock shocks.

      Except for that lucky buy now and then on Ebay!

          That's what I run with. Dual spring cause I'm a big guy. Found them on Ebay during an old clear out, out of business type sale. Check mawonline for good prices.

            I think you would be happier with Progressives. They aren't that much more.
            Your bike is pretty heavy and the better shocks are worth it.
