Great folks!Glad to see that there's some interest in this. Give us a few days to come up with something that makes sense for all. Thanks!

I would most likely be interested as well. I do not have any current needs for shocks but would be willing to make a buy to help the group. I'm not exactly sure which shocks are likely/sure to fail or if it's just the early versions. None of my tubers have exposed springs, but even though I have read many, many posts on this topic I'm still unsure if any (or all!) of mine are vulnerable.

Looks great 01x1buell!

We're still considering sponsoring a group buy but we need more interest. Discussions are ongoing with Twin Motorcycles about pricing etc. If you're considering it, please post here for now. Discounts look to be in the $50-$75 range but no promises just yet. We'll probably need 10+ orders to do it.

sitting here looking at the shock, and i do not see a flaw in it anywhere , it is a fine product. i can not wait to set it up and honestly beat on it like a do with all my toys, if it holds up to me then it is a great produce, which it looks like.

well i took it out for about 5 miles today thats all due to the horrible amount of salt and stone . it felt great much much better then the stock shock. i still have to adjust it a little tomorrow as i go along. i have it set up as of now the way that twin says to on there install info. i think i might adjust it as i go along tomorrow. that is all the info and comments that i have for now, i will continue to comment and provide my thoughts as i ride it ans test it out. i plan on taking her out tomorrow for a nice hard ride around on the main roads which are mostly gravel free. i love the look of it with my paint scheme it flows perfect.

the preload adjustment is easy as hell and the supplied wrench fits like a dream . rebound adjustment is also very very easy to move and adjust as you need.

it might be hard to tell in the pics, but the tail section sits almost an inch higher, due to the .40 longer or shorter adjustment on the end of the shock.. that is a nice feature for your ride height preference .
