    rear shocks

    i have a 79 XS1100 special, i need rear shocks badly, i am going to get thrown off the bike soon (very bouncy) any suggestions, so far the ones i have found aftermarket is $400-$500 too much $$$$$. the stock ones are that much and they are not availble. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks

      Check out the Progressive Suspension site, and JCWhitney. I bought the JCWhipme shock and I am happy with them. The look is close to stock, without the reflectors, and they have 2 stage springs.

                  The Parts n More and JC Whipme are the same I think. I got the Parts n More ones last fall, worked fine except the bike was lowered about 2" compared to the old heavy duty ones I had on there, and needed. Kick stand was now too long, muffler was too close to the ground, pegs too close, I scraped like a Harley...

                  Rode with wife they worked fine as far as the ride, never bottomed out. Don't think you will get 20 years on them, but for $75 they were fine.

                      Chrome Units.

                      Anyone know who makes the chrome shocks [$75] that are being sold on e-bay?
