    RFY Shocks for GS1000

    Those RFY Shocks look great but I'm a little concerned about the clevis. Anyone know where I possibly could get a better clevis?

    Better yet, what is your experience with these shocks?

      The clevis bolts on.

      It's feasible you could have one made or if you can find the right threaded bolt you could make a steel saddle (U with a square top) with a hole for the bolt and bolt them right up to the shock.

      I wouldn't spend any more money on their best set than on a set of progressives as the ride quality was similar, not as good as the works "tracker" I currently have fitted.

        It took some drilling and filing but I got them on and they seem to perform well. Only time will tell.

        I am looking locally for someone to help machine some thicker 6061 celvis joints. I'm not much of a fan of the celvis joints that come with shocks.
