None, get a proper shock with ride height adjustment.

I'd check the seat height tbh. Standard shock and dog bones should be 805mm

If the seat height is ok, shocks either on its softest preload or finished.

The dog bones are 120 mm centrehole to centrehole and the shock is only screwed up about 3clicks on the top adjuster..i hope this makes sense.

sound like its been lowered.
I personally would get a set of std ones off ebay and try them, but hang fire till YC or someone else confirms something for me.


YC. org whats the length of the standard Dogs on the Curvy?

Standard are about 105mm.

Anyhoos, got a set you can have for some shandy tokens.

If that's of interest to you, drop us a PM with address of where you want it sent to....as should have time to post it out tomorrow, whilst out on my journeys. We can square up later.
