Last summer I talked to Racetech when I was dealing with some issues on my rear suspension and asked about a shock for the wife's bike. They said no problem that I just needed to fill out their form with weights and dimensions and they would put one together. I guess something changed once they got a good look at what Vic had going back there. I'm going to give them a call the next day or so and see if I can find out what changed ?
I usually talk to Louie who is in the Tech department when I call.
Glad you found someone who can get you back on the road.
That shock from the trike shop sounds like a good deal. Most of the higher end shocks need to be rebuilt every few years when the oil degrades. Having a good spare means no down time while it is out getting the oil changed.
