No worries, well there’s still Progressive and Hagon shocks Bill, and they’re probably cheaper than Ikons. Not sure whether they have adjustable damping though, I bought my Progressive shocks for the Rocket III at the advice of the R3 forum members, and they were a waste of money, probably no different than the OEM Triumph shocks, so swore I’d never buy them again. ;D

Terry,I want to go for the Ikons..
Rodger & his lack of telephone courtesy is a problem;destroys my trust in his customer service.
I think the Ikons are a good product,AFAIK.

 It appears that they made a comeback after Franks passing.

Did his family sell the business to them that are down South ?
I thought Frank's was in IL. ?
How has the quality been since the new owners ?
