Hi all, recently I've been wondering if there is something wrong with the suspension of my '96 750. In short, it just feels like it balances too much up and down in the rear as I am driving it. Actually, I am not sure if it is because I am paying too much attention to this or not, but lately I've been feeling that my back hearts a bit after long rides (long being more than an hour or so). Allen drove my bike the other day for a bit I had the same impression (without me telling him before). Therefore, it start crossing my mind the idea of upgrading the rear suspension (and probably the front too, but that is a separate issue). Apparently, most people agree that progressive shocks is the way to go. However, those are not cheap, so I have few questions, such as:
1) How can I actually now if my rear shocks are damaged? Is there a more technical procedure to diagnostic this? 2) If I replace shocks, do I have to replace springs too? or it is just recommended? 3) Does anyone here uses or had used progressive shocks (and/or springs)? 4) Is there a particular model of progressive shocks and/or spring that need to be selected for a NH 750? There are few models, and although the differences in the specifications are confusing to me, the differences in price are quite substantial. I would appreciate any other comments on this matter. Cheers, Javier. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
