Whats the Loading Weight on the rear shocks for the CB550?????
« on: September 20, 2009, 10:00:13 AM »
Does anyone know whats the loading weight on the stock rear shocks? Also when going with performance shocks whats the loading weight on those?

I was looking around online for performance shocks and found a few in between the 450 - 500 total (both) Loading Weight parameters so Im wondering whats stock and if thats to stiff or if stiffer is better?

Thanks
