JBS piggyback shocks
#2
(08-02-2017, 01:30 AM)caddy425_imp Wrote: So for less than $200 I decided to give these a try before spending 600 to 1300 on Ikon or Ohlins shocks. What the heck, why not.

Easy install - good quality - firmer (progressive wound), and good rebound control - huge range of compression adjustment - and the bike rides the same one up or two - I must admit i am exceedingly happy with this purchase - I am no lightweight and with two up and a full top box there was a very bad ride with the stock shocks no matter what preload.

After one adjustment from my initial guess on the preload they are now comfortable and take railway tracks very well

i had to cut the spare key down in order to access the helmet lock (the nitrogen piggy back blocks the full size key enough that it bends - apart from that no worries

anyone else tried them?

(i have a black 2016 - went full black on the units and they look very good)
