rear Mono Shock

[SpyderDog65]

does anyone have any suggestions on a rear Mono Shock Replacment i need one that is heavy duty and can stand up to my large frame.........Michael

[bigdave18629]

Michael,

First thing is crank that stock shock all the way up, it helps a bunch. Let me know what you find, at 6'7" and a little over 300 I put some stress on it as well. I am down in Lodi, we are going to have to hook up for a ride, we have to be about 2 of the biggest out there.

Michael - I thought you had air-ride on order?

Dave - I thought you and I were big, I guess we have some competition!

Big Rick from Ripon

Hey Rick, glad to see you got one, too bad we are in for a weekend of rain.

We all need to hook up before the weather take a tank on us for the year. Maybe next weekend has some hope.

I saw two Spydies rolling through Lodi the other day, but have no idea who they are.

If either of you guys are looking into a new seat, I strongly reccomend riding into Corbin and having one built. They took the back bar out of mine and let me move up and back, made the seat thicker, wow what a difference it made for my legs and my a##. Same price as on line but you pick all the goodies.

Will do, I am traveling all of next week but an hoping next week will let me put some miles on. We get you me and Rick together we will be quite a site with a 1,000 pounds of meat riding into town.

Have a great weakend all.

Hey Big Dave - At 310 plus my wife at 115, I think the Spyder rides/handles quite well. It does not bottom out, and allows the suspension to absorb a lot of the road bomps and RR crossings we have encountered. I may be a less aggressive rider when she is on board also???? Anyway, just my 2 cents worth. What specifically is SpyderDog65 needing the shock to do that it is not already doing?

[SSPSpyder]

This coming week is shot but the week after is open (after 11/9).
I have a buddy that has a Harley who is bugging me to go for a ride, he might be up for it also.

Nobody will be asking "where's the beef?"

Happy B-Day!!!

The Russle Day Long is a great seat, just too much of a Goldwing look for my taste. I read all the posts on the Corbin. I have had them on several bikes, they are as good as any non spring seat out there. Day-Long has a spring system so I am sure that have some more give. Good luck with it, just wanted to let you know Corbin also builds to suit.

Let me know how the B-Day present plea worked out my 43rd is in July.

[SSPSpyder]

Dave - where did you go to customize your Corbin seat?

[bigdave18629]

You can ride in to the Corbin factory over in Hollister. Give them a call and set it up first. It is aay thing. I think it is the best way to go. I have noticed that people with the Bill Mayer saddle have switched as well. Day Long makes a good seat for cruising but for a big guy a seat that is built on springs and on a modified pan was not the way I wanted to go. Plus I don't think they fit the lines of the bike that well. With that said to each their own, some love the stock saddle.

Well I am 400 lbs and when I purchased mine, I had them put it on 6 out of 7 on the shocks. Glad I read the manual before I picked it up. Otherwise I would have had to take it back to have that adjusted.
