shocks?

[joe smith]

I want to lower my 78xs e and was wondering where to get a set of shocks that will fit it. I think I want to take it as low as i can. If i remember right it is only recomended to got to 11 inches. I am a fairly heavy guy so they need to be stiff.
Any suggestions? I am not rich so they need to be fairly cheep!
Thanks

Look on Ebay. Hardley riders are always swapping stuff.. shocks should be pretty cheap. If I recall, they are about 1" to 1 1/2" shorter. Not an exact fit as the side that fits into the top of the swingarm is too wide and has to be cut off. Also, bushing size is different on one side of the XS.. can't remember which one off hand, but you will need to fabricate a bushing to make the lower mounting hole smaller one one side.
