    FS: New Seat Shocks

    I’ve been in contact with a gas shock manufacturer in Europe to make replacements for the three or four shocks in the sport and comfort seats. I couldn’t find an OEM shock under $53, and I couldn’t find a US manufacturer that had a shock with the same dimensions and force. I wasn’t going to pay $400 to get my seats working properly.


    I received a sample set and installed them. They work perfectly! The new shocks offer the same range of motion as the originals. The new shocks have 440 newtons of force instead of 350 or 500 of the old ones.


    I've put together a website with information, pictures, an installation guide and a place to put in an order. Each order will come with the shocks and push nuts needed to replace the originals. I will fulfill orders in the order I receive them, and won’t ask for any payment until I am ready to ship the shocks and push nuts from Atlanta.
