Even if they do, I imagine they'll be too hard, even on the softest settings.

Dang, I was thinking about a completley different type of Shocker
Let my dying thought be that every mile was fun and let my tombstone read,"They never made one fast enough for me."

I was too, first thing to enter my head was the people I saw struck by lightning thise year at to seperate events. I used to enjoy lightning but now it kinda freaks me out.
And the kind of shocker I believe you mean would violate the aup.

Anyone try Hagon shocks? Bella Corse sells them... Bella Corse

We have the Hagons on Wendys bike. Lowered it 2". We like them and when you buy you specify the spring strength and dampening. I didn't know what I wanted so I described the roads and weight of rider to him and he hit it dead on the first time and we are very happy with them. Others will say Progressive are better,I don't know about that since I never had those.

I've got Hagon Nitros which provide superb comfort as they not only have adjustable pre-load which is standard in all shocks, but also 10 point dampening adjustment. Also like Ian mentions, the springs you get match what type of riding you do most of so as to maximise easy adjustment. Of course if I then go two up I adjust my pre-load accordingly. What I really liked about these shocks though were the components which are just about as good as they come.
