In the original reviews of the early 2000’s Road Stars, the common complaint was about the rear shock and ride. The shock was listed as one of the first things to upgrade.
The newest Road Star was made in 2014 so the shocks, by now are in much need of replacement. A few guys have taken on the task to find a cost effective and reliable solution to replace the lack luster stock shock.
I build two different shocks to solve the bottoming out issue as well as the dragging your floorboards in the corners issue. Both shocks will restore your bike to a proper riding condition and give you better handling in the corners.
Check the information at the links below. If you fill out the shock upgrade Request form I will advise you as to which shock would be the best set up for your riding situation.
