New Progressive Suspension High Performance Piggyback Shocks.
Published by Cyril Huze December 3rd, 2010 in Customs, Editorial and Suspension.
Inspired by racers, riders and those that demand more of their bikes than weekend coffee runs, Progressive Suspension just released its baddest performance shocks.
The built-in-the-USA 970 Series Piggy Shocks combine a high pressure gas mono tube design with deflective disc damping routed through two unique circuits and adjustable for compression damping via an easily accessible knob. Features include a shock body and piggyback that are both coated internally to reduce friction and then capped with a forged aluminum upper. The shock is wrapped with a progressive rate coil spring that can be fine tuned via threaded preload adjusters to suit a rider’s weight and riding style (be firm in the corners!). Current fitment includes the Harley-Davidson XR1200 and Dyna models with more applications rumored to be in the works. Info online or at your local Progressive Suspension dealer.
Nut bustin’ mania .
Sometimes when you work on stuff that is from the 60's, 70's, and 80's, you encounter stripped nuts and bolts, heads that have been torn up with screwdrivers, torx, allen wrenches or any other kind of device that could go in a hole and possibly turn it the stripped problem maker. One of these stripped little devils can fuck up your day and really make you hate all the things you don't already . Grab some nut buster and get down .
