Confused with what rear shocks to get
« on: September 24, 2018, 06:01:59 PM »
I have a 78 cb550k and weigh 220lbs my wife who will also be riding the bike is 120lbs.  I have done the spring rate estimator for both my wife and I and they come up with 87lbs for the spring (which I am not totally understanding what that means).  What I am looking for is a set of rear shocks that will not break the bank, change the handling where it is unsafe (I.e. too long) and that will be a soft ride for my wife and I.  Thanks
