    Interesting but maybe the 'option' springs help to alleviate that problem? Because the shocks won't bottom at slow speeds with them fitted.

    Every test I have seen from 84 says to remove the stock springs ASAP!!!

    Nice naked shock. Spacers removed to make the 'mx' length.

    Now just need to paint :)
