OP.... We await your feedback. After the disappointing results I had with my "lowered" Hand Adjustable Premium Shocks, bitubo are on my to-do list!

I'd really like to hear any results/impressions also. Are they 12" or 13"?

I can attest that there is a pretty significant difference, at least with Pro Action shocks. First had 12" and they were a big improvement but not $800 worth. The 13" I can justify the cost.

When I read the title, I was thinking, a rash. Now I feel kinda disappointed. Oh well, enjoy your new shocks. Don't be surprised if your bike now has all the comfort of a buckboard.

Give them time to break in before making more adjustments (if you got them from DK, already set for your weight requirements). I noticed mine were pretty stiff to start but they really settled in nicely after about the first 2500 miles or so. I went with the 13” shocks as well and it’s a great difference. I love the little extra height and almost 2x the travel over stock.

Ok they are installed not as straight forward as I had hoped had to play around jacking up the bike and lowering it to get everything lined up. Then realized I left the spacers out so repeated everything now I’m done. I’ll ride in the morning. And as others have said will need broke in I’m sure...

honestly it’s gonna be a bit breaking them in, however The consensus seems to be if you’re coming from stock shocks then these are wonderful as long as you don’t try the pro action these are the best shock for the money.
