Wish me luck! (suspension upgrade)

[TCinNC_imp]

I've ordered a set of Ikon shocks for the CB1100. The 7610 series, specifically 7610-1507 -SP17 for the CB1100. The SP-17 designation describes the cosmetics (30mm chrome cap, chrome shock body, black spring.) This should match the oem shock in appearance.

Ikon currently offers two spring rates. I opted for the lighter of the two.

The shocks provide 3 preload settings and 4 rebound damping settings.

Since I'm in and out of town for the next month or so, I won't get the shocks installed until mid-August, but if they provide a ride that works for me, I'll still have several months of good weather to enjoy the bike.

I'm also (probably) going to install the Traxxion Dynamics kit for the front forks, but I may first check the fork oil level as shipped from the factory, and perhaps adjust fork oil level and weight.

I've asked in the past if anyone that weighs 150-175 pounds has installed a progressive fork spring, but still hoping for an answer from the CB1100 forum.

Good luck Bob, let us know how it goes. I've been intending to go with lighter weight fork oil to see how it works before upgrading springs, just haven't got around to it yet.
