Hey Guys!
We are running a Summer sale on our AK20 cartridge kits! Our AK20 cartridges have over 10 years of development, hundreds of podiums on the racetrack. Despite the racing heritage, we have installed them in several thousand Goldwings and Harleys, as well as hundreds of cruisers, sport touring bikes, etc. This is the same quality AK20 cartridge that goes in the race bikes, sprung and valved and custom setup for the Indian Scout. We got our hands on a Scout for r&d, and the AK20s transform the bike, improving handling, brake dive, bump absorption, etc.
The AK20s are fully adjustable, with caps for preload, rebound and compression damping. Normally they are $1299.95, but during our Summer sale, they are $999.95, custom valved and sprung for your weight and riding style. Installation is a little tricky, since we are going from an old school damper rod fork, so we recommend you send the forks in to us for installation. We charge $225, including new seals and a full rebuild. If you happen to have a lathe at home, or a handy with a bench grinder even, we can send you the kit and instructions.
What we found with the rear shocks was surprising. There is very little stroke, and almost no rebound, so when you hit a bump it rebounds immediately, bouncing you out of the seat with a clunk. We didn't see much benefit with going to a an aftermarket shock with so little stroke, but with a simple revalve, they work surprisingly well. We added some rebound damping to get rid of the clunk, and some compression damping to keep it from hitting the bump stops all the time, and it ends up working way better than it should. We were all surprised how well it works. The shock itself is a decent Kayaba unit, it is just the setup that is so bad. $300 for the full rebuild and revalve, and we will give you a full refund if you aren't blown away.
I'm not able to keep up with PMs on forums, so please email me directly at [email protected]
cheers!
