shorter shock

Post by haynesjones66 »

i have a RWU blade front end on my storm which is around 35mm shorter than standard apparently, but it feels really pitched forward, even with straight bars. i assume a shorter shock would even this out? i know hagon do shorter shocks on request. thanks

Have you set up the static sag on your bike? If not you may find some adjustments with the RWU forks will help,

Somewhere there is a database of shock lengths however the YSS and Nitron both have adjustable length.

i'm not really up on suspension set ups but there is a place in worcester somewhere i will take it once it's roadworthy again. i think a yss or a hagon is as far as my budget will stretch, i think. Just put a set of eco yss shocks on my 600 scooter and it's a vast improvement
