Hi Chaps,

The shock springs are zinc plated, (won't rust) if you would prefer them powder coated then we can do that for you. The reason we didn't do them powder coated was that you can't really see them.
Please let us know!

You can leave the adjustment setting of the shock on number 2 (unless you are larger than average LOL!) with the uprated springs on, even 2 up with luggage.


Laur.

Any special tools required?
Any tips or info much appreciated. Thanks.
