Quick little survey. Those of you who are sporting the IKON 7614 shocks? How do you like them and how are they holding up?

Have the 7610 which have been a great addition. the customer service is/was fantastic and the build quality is very good for the money my came in around $325 Canadian last year. Was talked out of the 7614 by the distributor for reasons of unless your racing the weight savings is negligible and the spring rebound is much more complicated to adjust accurately for riding day to day. Also with the price difference you can buy some other parts...like springs for the front.

Got my #7614-1296 about a year and a half ago and they are great, no bottoming out like the old pogos previously on and combined with the Hondaman swingarm rebuild hold a line like a pro in the turns.

Well worth the extra $$$ over the steel bodies in my mind.

Just got my Ikon 7614 shocks last week and have ridden about 40 or so miles on them.
 BAD ASS.
The rebound damping and dual ring preload are so easy to adjust! I wish my forks were as easy! Plus the aluminum matches the newly brushed fork bottoms.
Fantastic mod. I can't wait to couple this up with my Hondaman swingarm which will be here next week!
Seriously, if you have the money and you enjoy turning, get a decent pair of shocks. You will be thrilled.

One thing I like about them is that they are very period correct for these bikes.
This project started in confusion and will end in disarray.

And 4 clicks of adjustable rebound damping? Can't loose! Im currently at position 2 with adjustability either way.
