Mate asked me about YSS shocks for his Sporty. Couldnt be any worse, a couple of bits of wood would an improvement over the stock units.
Anyone any experience with YSS on a cruiser?

From what I've heard they are better than shagged OEM shocks but a long way from the better offerings out there. They look the part and their cheap but there are far better choices out there, but I guess it comes down to budget and as you say 'Couldnt be any worse, a couple of bits of wood would an improvement over the stock units'. :rofl:
Personally I'd save my pennies and get something decent, but that's just my opinion - I'm sure you'll get plenty more.... :D

Fitting anything other than a Harley-approved part will be an impossible act for most Harley Krishnas. They get really excited by "air shocks" as an aftermarket enhancement.

Hagon shocks would be a good cheapish after market units for that bike would they not?

If I only had the choice of YSS or Hagon, especially for that bike I'd go Hagon every time! :D

i have let him know. He has quite a list of different shocks to find out about, probably wishes he never got started.
