New ikons on the way - dsan1964_imp - 11-03-2017
I finally bit the bullet and ordered a new set of black custom Ikon shocks 495 to my door in about 3 weeks . Hopefully I wonder why I took so long to swap them out..

I fitted a pair of Ikon's to my Bonneville 3-4 years ago and they made a big difference in the ride.
I think you will really like them.

I enjoy the Ikons on my CB, and my wife says they are more comfortable for her as well- she did not like impacts with the stock shocks.

I think the suspension will be my next "investment".
Figure I'm keeping this bike for quite a while.

Yes agree with everyone... I changed the front springs last year big difference. The other thing was how much I then noticed that the rear end was not performing well. I will look forward to giving a full review with pics. Thanks.

Don't forget the torque value on the top shock bolts is very small. Several members have snapped them off.
RE: New ikons on the way - Lord Popgun - 11-04-2017
Ferret is right about that. The specified torque for the upper bolts is 6.6 foot pounds.
The lower is 19 ft lbs.
