Bonneville America Forums Forums Technical Forums Accessories Want lowered shocks try SOTMC.com

If anybody is looking for lowered shocks or want their stock shocks lowered, Give SOTMC.com a try. This guy is great! I sent him two pairs of stock shocks that he cut down to 10.5" They do all kinds of custom work, mostly on Metric bikes. He only charged me $60 plus shipping to cut the shocks. He has fast turnaround as well. I sent him the shocks on Monday, I had them back by Friday. Check 'em out www.SOTMC.com

Gotta agree with you FryGuy. I had the same turnaround time on my rear shocks. They polished the top aluminum part and they look great. Gotta get the front down now.
Taking the fork lowers in for chroming next week and installing progressive springs with cut down spacers.

They are great. I to have the progressive lowering front springs. I have an extra set if you didn't get yours yet. My brother bought them from Progressive but after he got them he decided he like the look of the lowered rear and stock front. They are brand new in the box. If you are going to lower the front I recommend going with a better spring like Progressives. You can acually lower the front more by cutting down the spacer. I think the stock spacer is 6 inches. The spacer progressive sends with the kit is 4 inches of 1 1/2 inch PVC pipe. You can cut it down another inch or two with the after market Progressive springs. That will really give you the slammed look.

Where did you get the progressive fronts? Are you trying to sell the extra set? If you would let me know on both.

fryguy -

thanks for that link. these guys had a bike for sale on ebay months back. they sent me some better photos but by the time i got around to e-mailing them back the link via ebay was closed.

i'd thought they were just some garage guys til i went to your link .

some pretty impressive services.

I ordered the lowered shocks front and back directly from Progressive. I am holding onto the rear shocks for now. I have a set of brand-new, never used front lowering springs from progressive. My brother paid $99 for them. If you want them, make me an offer.

Just got a recall notice from Triumph. The rear shocks on my 04 Speedmaster need to be replaced. I was planing on putting on progressive 412(11.5) this spring, and replacing
the fork spring. I will bring the recall in to work Thus.
it has the vin# of the bikes. Im hoping the dealer will let
me bring in my old shocks, and just give me the replacments
so they can gather dust on the shelf
