• The unique internal bladder design of the 420 Series allows for easy shock installation without the need to find a location to mount the reservoir.

• The internal bladder is gas charged with nitrogen to give superior fade-free damping. Velocity sensitive, multi-stage valving for a consistent, controlled ride.

• Our famous Progressive Rate Spring gives superior ride and handling over a variety of surfaces.

• External 5-position rebound damping adjustment allows you to dial-in the ride you want.

• The shock shaft is made from 14mm chromoly steel, hard chromed for durability and smooth operation.

• Spring pre-load is adjusted with a threaded collar.

• Shocks are completely rebuildable.

With 42,000 miles on bike ... it was time for new shock. Install from start to finish took about 2 hours. On top I removed seat, inition modual and moved the fuel filter to the side. On right side, removed the battery and the 5 bolts holding the batt tray in (middle bolt attaches to the tool tray on other side) On left side, I removed remaining AIS junk, tools and the 3-4 bolts/screws holding the tray in and also the bottom chrome drive train cover. Lossin the bolt that is for dog bones, then remove both top and bottom bolt of shock and remove out the top. I set the shock up for 3 and left the main part of the shock preset from factory. I weight about 200 and bike is set up for solo. RIDES BETTER than the day I baught it NEW. No more wishy ... washy around the corners.

If you want your V Star to really handle and ride well this is the way to go along with the Progressive front fork springs.

Install took less than two hours start to finish. Should have done this years ago. Excellent ride, made it feel like a new bike.

Took a while, and PITA to adjust, but once you get it dialed in, it is a much improvement over the OEM shock assembly
