Race Tech Shock
| I purchased a Race Tech shock for my 2005 Goldwing last year. It took them nearly three months and a couple phone calls to get it delivered to me. I had my mechanic install it for me and when he did, he discovered the connector to the actuator was broken. He ended up using the one from my original. The shock worked great for awhile but after 16,000 I took my bike in for its annual maintenance. Mechanic said the shock is done. The seal blew and there is no more damping, just spring. I guess I just didn't notice. Anyway Race Tech told me today that my shock it out of warranty and will cost $400.00 to rebuild. She also told me they expect their shocks to need a rebuild each year and it's normal for the seals to go after 16,000 miles. I'm now in the market for a new shock but it won't be from Race Tech. I'm better off with a stock OEM than this. |

Difficult install, worth the investment!
| I have been very satisfied with the upgraded custom rear shock. The motorcycle handles much better. I bought a 2001 GL 1800 in 2020. It had some age. I noticed the rear shock wasn't raising or lowering the bike throughout the full adjustable range. I decided to upgrade to this shock and am very pleased. The installation would have been impossible without a shop manual. My only complaint is that the shock didn't come with any instructions and I still have a metal rod that was stuck through the bottom bracket that I'm not sure what to do with. I imagine it was for lining the bracket up with the bolt holes. The total installation (from initial plastic removal to test drive) took about 12 hours. I did this alone and would not recommend that for others. If you can get some help with the install, do that! The shock adjusts the bike's height through the whole 1-25 range and is noticeably more stable during turning and takeoff. |

Should have put this on 30,000 miles ago.
| Ordered this through racetech a few weeks ago and just completed a 3,000 mile trip. I should have done this upgrade many miles ago. Much better suspension than when the bike was new!! Previously tried the Progressive set up and went back to stock then put this on. WOW what a difference. |

Great upgrade
| I purchased the custom shock this as part of my suspension upgrade. What a difference. The back end no longer sinks when I accelerate or sags when corning on the highway. I get more forward thrust when I want it. As for comfort, hands down awesome. With the back end steady, the front forks, with the upgrades, hold true. No more Kentucky windage on a 900+ pound motorcycle. |
