Yup, I have a Lemans 1000 with the Konis. I weigh 230#, setting 2 is
perfect.......

I use a set of Konis from a LeMans 1000. They are longer than Ambo
length and give a bit more ground clearance. Work perfectly with
damping on 2, and I weigh 240. The Ikons should be identical to the
Konis.

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. http://www.mgcycle.com/shock.html 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. Later, JU |
