I am having shocks built in three weeks,
and I am also going to fab up a pair of adjustable length struts.
This way I can run the bike either way to determine what handles best for the salt conditions,
and puts the most power down.
The shocks will be designed with a softer compression, and stiffer rebound,
and built according to the weight used.
The soft compression is easy on the rider (if salt is rough),
and quick/stiff rebound puts the traction back to use faster.
At least that's my theory.
Thanks for the interest
