Great looking and sounding shocks. If i took either to my suspension guy for service is there a MFG given (When purchased) that he can go by to get parts? When you call out the rider weight is that with gear or without? I am 230lb ready to crash, stand a lot offroad and use a single wheel trailer for heavy loads so i think the HD would suit me best?
You can use either one of our rear shocks to adjust the spring preload for lowering the rear, then just slide the fork tubes up to match. Should be pretty easy.
Depends on how far you would like to go up. If you need just a slight increase, put a spring on it. If you need more than that, use a longer stiffer shock and spring like our HD rear shock.
@@maciekzdeb maybe a little, but maybe not as well. It's a matter of preference to some degree. The real problem is that we can't change the geometry of the leverage ratio on the bike, so if you want to lift the bike up the only option you have is a stiffer spring rate at the expense of a softer ride. It's all give and take.
@@martingrandbois8475 the lower adjustment screw is to adjust valving only . This adjusts the shocks reaction time. It does not provide a change in height.
My weight is 190pound, 5'10". I ride my tw200 like motocross enduro. And i would like lift approx 1". No langage. You recommandation for me is? Offroad or hd shock? Sorry sir im not good in english.
@@martingrandbois8475 the increase in leverage on the shock makes it very soft. Neither one of my shocks have enough valving for a 3" extension. I would recommend getting a shock valved specifically for the extensions if you are going to run them.
@@bradleyperformanceproducts I'm curious to hear why the leverage would have an effect on the valving. If I'm not mistaken, the swingarm being extended is simply putting more force on the spring? The rate at which the swingarm moves up and down won't be any faster or slower than a shorter swingarm. I can see if the preload adjustment couldn't make up for the extra leverage, but the springs you're selling should be able to take up the extra force being preloaded into the spring? Great videos and I'm looking forward to ordering some parts!
@@seankennedy250 Its a domino effect. The higher leverage requires more spring rate. The stiffer spring now has the ability to overcome the valving at a quicker rate. You need more valving anytime a heavier spring is used. Hope this helps answer your question. Thanks for reaching out.
Hi Brad, I’ve got your off-road shock coming today and since we are the same weight and height I was wondering if you could tell me how you have yours setup? Length of lower heim, preload and rebound, etc. I have the emulators and .60s coming too. Thanks!!!
The Heavy Duty shock is exactly what this 320lb Tdubber needs on his bike!
Really like your products. Just picked up a Tdub recently, and I’m looking forward to putting some of your stuff to work!
Great video! Thanks for the information, I will be ordering from you soon!
Good info! I have looked at your site for shocks. Im planning a 1500 mile off road trip ,with luggage, next season. I need mo bedder suspension stuff!
I’m still looking for a Tw 200 I like your atv tire swap

In my case I need a different shock for make lower, probably 1 inch or 1 1/2 inch lower !
What you suggest in this case?

Will they fit 125 as well? 🇬🇧🇬🇧
We think so. I have never seen one, but I think it is the same dimensions.
So if I were riding 2 up occasionally im assuming the HD shock would be a better fit over the offroad shock
In that situation, yes I believe so.
The video was informative thank you. Do you have link for the HD shock?

What's the best way to increase the rear ride height on a TW200?
Depends on how far you would like to go up. If you need just a slight increase, put a spring on it. If you need more than that, use a longer stiffer shock and spring like our HD rear shock.
@@bradleyperformanceproducts im 180 lbs without geat. Would the HD shock be too stiff?

@@bradleyperformanceproducts Thank you for the response.
Hello, im very interres about shock offelroad, but i would like lift 1". Can i lift lift 1" with head ajustement?
Because the hd is to hard(800lbs)
@@martingrandbois8475 yes, you can tighten the preload on the spring enough to get 1" of lift.
Can i lift 1" offroad shock with head screw, no with compresseur spring ?
Thank you sir!
@@martingrandbois8475 yes sir, you will just use the screw on the top to increase the spring pressure.
At 2:12 minutes adjustement lower arm?
Can i use this one for lift?

@@martingrandbois8475 off-road shock for sure. You are about my size and I ride the same way with the same shock.
What is your opinion about 3" extension swingarm with with offroad shock?
Is it good idea?

@@bradleyperformanceproducts thanks for the reply. Would a suspension specialist be able to service or revalve either of the shocks you sell? Cheers.
@@seankennedy250 They are common body, piston and shim sizes so I believe so.

Let me see if I can get that info for you.
@@bradleyperformanceproducts I appreciate it! Shock arrived the other day, looks really nice and excited to get it installed!
At last something to help me get back to my family.
Like it!
