Yeah I have my front and rear shocks cut....no problems that i cant deal with, and this is my first bike. The poster "the_dog33" rode my bike, if you ask him about them he'll give you some feedback.
Im sure that it doesnt ride like "progressives" but i cant justify their price compared to cut springs. like i said before, if youre thinking about getting new shocks, you might as well cut the stock ones and ride it first, and if its not what you want, just get the aftermarket ones. when it comes time to resell it, get a pair of original shocks for cheap off someone, everyones got them laying around im sure.
