lbs?

Right lbs rear is a single rate I thank it's a 680 lbs. We are taking the 860 lbs off the front, going to use the,old 660lbs spring. was a little stiff. fyi not supposed to powder coat springs,to much heat. What the elka guy said.

Wow that seems stiff. You might need to go see Smoothride and do some more re-valving. Sounds like your compression is a little light.

My high speed and low speed compression are backed all the way off. He lightened them just not enough. and top front spring is not heavy enough. Ride is good just could be a lot better. =uMay have to get with smoothride to fine tune them

I had the same problem with my Walkers. Except they were to stiff. Tim (smoothride) has a shock dino at his house. He works on them then you ride. Take them back off and work on them some more.

This was a all day deal. There is a lot to getting the shocks really set up for our type of riding. Most of the guys that work for the shock companies don't know how we ride. It is much different then the sand.

Big R how much is a service like that cost.The elka guy is the east cost tech center, they support GNCC riders.

It is not cheap....... But he is damn good. Walker re-valued my shocks for 30 bucks each. It was a wast of money. I don't think they did anything except charge me 30 bucks per shock.
