Im pretty much unimpressed with the shock setup, its a Daytona, sold by many for more than i paid. Ad shows a two set up which is what i thought i was to get.
Seller sent one, Ive notified them im short, the ad no say take you pick, it shows 2 and says one like a kit ? So emailed them, waiting for them to tell me im stupid.
Ill let eBay takem on. The shock itself has little if any resistance. If its nitro filled, its gone, at least to me, if its hydraulic its never been filled.
Beware if ya buy this kit or one like it, seems substandard to me. Kit i paid $159 for others Ive seen almost twice the price and its same same.
Never had this problem with a extended Harley front end of 6inchs on a stock frame, with Harley raked trees, others Ive built using a narrow glide with a permanent 10degree rake tree handled like a cat on a hot stove.
Guess i could cut down the legs on this road king front end and use the similar in nature top caps on the stock Harley raked trees, and hog out the lower tree to 41mm.
Go with the cover and the fat boy headlight. As a last resort that might be my last option.
In all fairness my head shake was slight. At slow speed, no more than 20mph, faster than that no shake, which is the nature of a raked out frame. That^s why some put a 21incher on the front of the old style scoots to help with the flip flop on the front at slow speed.
Back to the drawing board and i will measure the trail, thanks for the depiction of the bike and measuring trail.
If your looking for a shock set up similar to this, don't buy this one. MO. Its sold under many names on eBay, but you can tell by looking its same same. Save you money and buy or build something else, altho i like the brackets on this one.
So far i cant upgrade to a ohlin shock that Ive seen as they are 8 ball shaped. Hundreds of shocks on eBay, all from Thailand, china. and Timbuktu.
Suggestions ? overall about 15inches long, 1 inch od. about a 5inch stroke, and no almost 100 percent of the sellers don't list the details.
Rode it awhile ago, turn loose the handle bars almost no shake, but bike will pull to the right if handlebars are unattended at slow speed. Was hoping the shock would help hold her straighter than that.
That^s my story and how its unfolding, whats your experience. ???
