If you fitted the shocks yourself and didn't go through the process to set the ride height / sag then you are already not going to get the best out of them, IMO.

I hope Ricor is not OOB. I know they say they are in Big Bear, CA, which is a fairly small mountain community with a couple ski areas and a nice big lake.

Was hoping to buy some Intiminators this fall and install over the winter.

This is sheer 'speculation', but I suspect that Ricor just decided to not maintain their
website, instead depending on Facebook 'advertising'......

facebook.com/RicorSuspension/

But who knows....

DK Custom pre-sets the shocks for you based on questions provided on their site when ordering. I may well have put on too much weight since I ordered the shocks. :P

They can only be expected to come but so close. I am dead-on what I told them, and they were damned close...just a wee bit off AFAICT. Break out the spanner and give it a bit of a whirl...

I was not speculating on the existence of the company only that the website is gone. If the only way to read about them is through faceache they have lost me but on looking as far as I will go nothing from November 2022 and page not updated as it has a link to the website that doesn't work.

In doing a google search no company comes up in the UK who sells them. Only DK Customs it appears are selling them in the US.

The search returns I got are posts several years old so no-one is talking about them in the last few years.

That's not good. Perhaps DK Customs will see this post and respond as they are a vendor for Ricor.

Possibly another Wuhan victim, sadly.

Picked up the sportster after having the rusty header pipes replaced. Rode it home through a very hot south west London. Got knocked off while standing stationary at traffic light by a bloody fire engine!!!!!!

He turned right and his rear quarter swung out and collected me. First off in nearly thirty years as well.

Broken clutch lever, broken indicator lens and some bruises seem to be the sum total, happy Friday! Going for a beer!

That sucks when the "first responders" are the ones that cause the accident. Hopefully they have you covered for repairs.

Enjoy your pint(s)!
