saw a poll on a different site, 75% of the people responding had no problem.

just realize that it's around a 440lb limit, so if you ride 2 up, with a lot of gear, you'll want to upgrade to something better..... although all the reviews don't mention year of bike - there are some who say triumph went to a heavier spring in 2009.

Ride around like me, with just some luggage, and you probably won't care.

Yes - a nice performance shock would have a lot better damping, so if that's your thing, get something nice. I'm ok with stock, especially if I can get spares on the cheap from those who like to upgrade.  :D

Sasquatch

I can rebuild, revalve and respring that shock.  Drop me an email if you have any questions.
