    Default Shock Adjusters - Phase I

    A great big Thank You to Stan Proffitt, my current project Phase-I Test Pilot. We got the adjusters installed on his 2014 RT and they seem to be everything that I had hoped for. Need to do a bit of tweaking for Phase-2, but basically, mission accomplished!

    Stan is going to ride these and play with the adjustment while I'm away in Nepal. He's going to put quite a few miles on tomorrow. Just what the doctor ordered!

    With just 3 turns each (about 1/5 ~ 1/4 of the total adjustment) he said he could feel the difference in the short test ride he took. He's going to load up and take off tomorrow and play with different settings along the way.

    We will know more tomorrow.

    Pitbull's aren't adjusters, they just modify the shock mounts to give the shocks a different geometry.

    In the short test ride this evening, after BajaRon and I completed the install of the Shock Adjusters, I am very excited with the outcome! These turn the '14 Sachs Shocks into a complete package by providing Pre-load adjustment to individual needs. I will be testing them and posting the results as we go. These Phase 1's look great, BajaRon has another winner with these!

    Two Questions:
    How much?
    How can I get them past the Missus?

    Any idea if these will work on a 2013 RT Ltd? I would love to see some improvement to the stock shocks. Assuming, of course, that it doesn't burn up in the meantime.

    They should since BRP didn't change the shocks from the 13 to the 14 RT's.

    These will work on all the 2013/14 non-adjustable OEM shocks.
