Dave has a crush on Brian...

It was actually a gentle reminder that...................

WE R ALL STILL WAITING !!!!!!! (patiently)

[Tarbash 27]

I want these shocks for my birthday(april 18th)!!!!!!!!!!!

\\/ bump again! Lest we forget! \\/

[andrewclaycomb]

Any new information on these shocks? I'm really wanting to redo the whole suspension on my bike and these seem like a good place to start.

[firemun59]

prototypes are done and are being tested as we speak.......\\/

[Cassius086]

Sweet!! Great news....

[AOD]

Pictures or info on prototypes?

[justin caise]

Lately I've heard of a number of companies going under because of unexpected growth. They couldn't keep up with demand. So, Brian, market research IS key.
Put me down for a pair on my 79 GS 1000E. Black of course.

I'll beta test them for you....free of charge! :-D

Seriously, just waiting to pull the trigger on some shocks...hoping your product is the one for me.

I will be in for a pair also Brian. My 1983 GS1100GL has the originals and one is leaking! Sounds like you have a pretty good list of poeple ready to buy. That is a good problem for any new business. Good luck.

Hmph.

I bought a set of Redwing STC shocks to hold me over until I could try these (or Progressive) but i've had such a bad time with these shocks I need to bring this up.

Brian, please double and triple check your tolerances on the clevis and eye-bolt mounts. Below you'll see why this is critical!

Original Suzuki shock lower (clevis mount):


Redwing STC shock - will not fit!


The above is SUPER frustrating. I reinstalled my original shocks as a result.

It looks like the inside piece of the clevis is tweaked. Can you bend it in?

[tconroy]

That thing is bent.I don't know if tweaking it will affect the strength of the clevis.

[salty_monk]

The pressing is out of tolerance. I'd send it back, it really needs more width in the middle from the look of it so tweaking it would always be a bodge

[AOD]

Yeah, the shocks are going back - they're not wide enough at the clevis.

Guess this means I'm waiting for an update from Brian on the prototype testing!
