Title: Rear Shocks
Post by: BULTACOBRIS on January 27, 2013, 11:04:47 am

Hi all,
Can i opinions on the length (eye to eye) of M180 MK10 Frontera rear shocks please? Should i go longer than std?
Also any obs on the cheap Progressive Series 13 Shocks or Falcon Big Bores? Don't want to spend big for trail rider.
Thanks Terry

Terry, be careful about longer shocks. They have fairly long shocks standard & the swingarm already points fairly steeply downward so, with the sprocket so far from the pivot, the chain rubs on the top of the pivot tube.
