What are the stock springs in pounds any 1...

I do like the look of them. more vmaxer's hop in on this.

Read the max load rating off the sticker on the headtube of the bike. That's what the stock shocks are rated for. I'm not near my bike, but it's probably in the 900-1100 lb range. The bike weighs almost 600 by itself.

They are JUNK and will go bad very quickly.

My wife has a set similar to those on her Radian. She know has about 8,000 miles on them and they are due to be replaced.

One shock is leaking and the other can no longer be adjusted has the adjusting nuts are stripped.

I wouldn't recommend buying them.

I bought a similar cheap set from eBay - RFY shocks (I couldn't afford a proper set)

I thought I'd ride them until they blew but they're still on the bike (+$5 ohlin sticker)

Only drawbacks: They are pre-loaded to the MAX and are next to useless when you ride two up - other than that I'm very happy with the bang per buck ratio

IMHO this is just one area you don't want to go cheap on (brakes/tires are the others). They may work, but they may also fail prematurely...which may contribute to an accident...that will cost significantly more to fix than if you spent decent money on the right equiment initially...not to mention the potential injury to yourself or a passenger...

Thanks to all the guy's input on the shocks. Ok they look nice, me will walk away from them.

I'm looking at replace them 13" to 12" is the lowest I will go.
