    Default Will i need to change the shockers

    I'm putting some superlows in my VT s soon and wondering if its necessary to change the shocks as soon as i do it or if it'll be alright to do it a few months down the track?
    Cheers

    It'll be sweet for a few months so long as the shock's aren't already buggered.

    I had SSSL's in my old VX with FE2 shocks for about half a year I think before I swapped them out. The FE2 shocks where still alright when I pulled them out.

    Good luck with it.

    i just suggest replacing the shocks when you replace the springs, other wise, ill even bet money on it, in a "few months time" you think "stuff it they lasted this long ill just leave them in" and you will never replace them.

    I think MR_VX has a valid point there. Do them now if you think you'll end up not doing them in the future...
