Gee wiz..Tom didn't set up the Ambo I purchased from him that nicely!
Anyway I went with the Ikon's MG Cycle stocks. What swayed my purchase,
is the ability to adjust the rebound on the shock. I have a set of
Works Shocks on a Bassa and adjusting compression is a $100 bill for new
valves and rebuilding.

I like it at the lowest setting (#1 of 4) so it soaks up the rutty city
roads without jolting the back of this 220lb rider. I'll kick up the
preload with a passenger. Ask any northern snowmobiler about the need
to adjust your shock valving.
