Default One last question about bitubo shocks

Ok I'm 95% sure I'm going to give the bitubo shocks a try but want some opinion between the 2 shocks offered. The 2 way is $550 and the 3 way is around $900. I love the way the piggyback looks and comes in a gun metal color that I think would go great with my bike, but I'm hesitant to spend another $350 on aesthetics alone, so does anyone running the piggyback shocks ever even use the extra adjustment? Is it worth the extra cash? The 2 way have a very reasonable price and are probably all I really need but only come with the polished eyelets and body. You guys think that would stick out like a sore thumb against the dark paint and all the black parts?

Your current chrome shocks stand out in contrast to your smoke grey bike. But I think if the springs are black, the little bit of chrome will be fine. If you dont like it, can just hit it with some spray paint.

If you are ok with the current ride, then the 2 way will be a big improvement. If you ride 2 up from time to time, the 3 way comes in handy.

The current ride is terrible. I hardly ever ride 2 up on the dyna. I'm leaning toward the 2 way, just hate to cheap out and regret that decision down the road. This is probably more about me asking myself the question out loud.... So indecisive

I think it's a generic picture of what they look like. I hope...

Bitubo is world class suspension and if you are buying from T.D. they will spring the shock to your weight. Not to worry.
