Another shock thread, but SHOWA
#1
I’ve been scouring over the old shock threads for days. Still not a ton of clarity. A lot of the comments in the forum boil down to get a shock for your riding weight and voila. I picked up a used Werks pair that were already set up in my weight range. They are fine for the most part. However sometimes I ride to work and carry my gear, and I generally like to do a long trip once a year on my cb1100, in which I hate the shocks. So I’d like something with adjustability, but still better than stock. I love the look of the ohlins, especially the piggybacks. I still can’t really tell if they are actually adjustable, or is it too technical to make those adjustments on the fly.

So, scouring for parts because basically everything else on the bike is or will be upgraded from stock, I came across these Advantage Showa shocks. My brief email with webike they gave me another website and said they are adjustable. I see knobs and dials. Not sure if that makes them easily adjustable or what they all do. Is it as easy as I think or am I missing something?

Additionally, what needs to be done with the grab bar and my rear Honda rack to accommodate? Or is the only real solution running them upside down?

Also I know sticker shock on the price, but I’ve been working 60-70 hour weeks since October so I’m throwing money at my bike to feel better.
