Bodywerks Posted July 28, 2009 #1 Posted July 28, 2009 I have a 96 RSTD with a factory hydraulic shock.........with two up, and some gear for the weekend, the rear bottoms out.......I'm 6'4" and 280 wife is 6 foot and 200. So I don't know if anyone makes a performance shock, or I'd be better off with an air shock unit, and have found NO sources for modification other than o.e. replacment......any help?
SteveW Posted July 28, 2009 #2 Posted July 28, 2009 Sorry to say that is the only source for the shock. An air shock is not available for it. I spent days on the net looking for a friends bike. The new shock helped but would still bottom out on a real hard dip when fully loaded and 2 up.
bobbyduck Posted July 28, 2009 #3 Posted July 28, 2009 I don't know about the '96, but I bought a Works Performance shock for my 2006, and it is AWESOME! Supple yet pliant, best all around shock I ever owned. I think they originally made them for the early Royal Star so it should be worth checking out.
