Lowering Shocks
« on: February 02, 2008, 12:24:07 PM »
I'm new to Texas X Rider

Have an 02 1800c and was thinking about putting lowering shocks on it but do not have a clue what brand or what lenghth. I don't have a passenger very often and don't no if this makes a differance.
I live in the Austin area lookin to ride

Thanks for the help

Welcome to the group!  I put the 11.5" Progressives on mine and love it.  Lowered the back about a half inch or so and the quality of the shocks are much better, too.   O0

WELCOME TO THE X GANG

Thanks for the input.
Is there a certain brand and price and place to find them.
Progressive is the brand and useally the 412s are ones that are affordable.If do a search for Progressive shocks you will find that most places have them for about the same price but might find a sale on some if your lucky.  8)

depends if you want to modify the rear fender or not. Are you going with larger rear tire?
