Are they built to your weight or is it 1 size for all.
They only offer a single spring rate. I'm sure other springs could be fitted if you were outside of their design spec. You could email them and see maybe?

RE: Gears Racing Shocks
"big bumps and quick changes of direction remind you why single-shock rear ends with more travel and progressive linkages killed off the dinosaurs" - John Burns, Motorcycle.com - '13 CB1100 - New England Pavement is basically a dirt road. Towns constantly dig up and patch roads for what lies beneath. Frost heaves. Manhole covers. Potholes. CB11 and CB1000R, both bikes hopped like Kangaroos on my (160 LB soaking wet) test rides. So these Gears shocks look like a nice refit.
