Bonneville America Forums Forums Technical Forums Custom Corner lower than 11.5 shocks?

I found 10.5 savage shocks are direct bolt ons. No two up anytime soon but for ya low riders out there.

Ooooh, I put 11.5 on and she drugged and dragged. 10.5 B mighty low.

But but but that's half the fun! I think you have to have a pretty ruggedly modified bike to go that route. I just rised mine from 10 inchers to 10.5

You mean from the Suzuki Savage 650 thumber?
Do not use them - the bike is 170 kg (374 US pound?) and our Speedys and Amis are up to 250 kg (551).

Thats pretty different weight - use any Sporty-shocks if you want to get that low.

You've checked under the fender to insure those bolt ends won't catch a tire, haven't you?

i don't have the stock fender. mines the that hipsterbait bike in the members rides. i'm not worried about the weight difference because i shed a ton of weight from the bike - I added a bump stop - and added spacers for the preload.

i just posted that cause i read some people looking to go low low..

either way burley slammers are the only real way to go. those are next

ya know I could've sworn the last time I measured the center to center on my chopped stock shocks they were 10-3/8". I don't have any rubbing and theyre on the hardest setting.

That's awesome. That's why i have to get a sock fender again
