This is the best darn shock on the market period!.
PS Magnum 1200 Series Shocks are an exceptional value for your hard earned money. They have been designed and tested over the years to yield correct dampening and spring rates for your particular application.
These shocks are gas charged for superior fade free dampening and consistent operation. Special valving is a 6 stage, automatic dampening function that allows proper dampening under all conditions. The adjustable preload uses a cam adjuster that allows easy preload adjustment for varying load carrying conditions. Magnum shocks are double wall, steel shock body for piston protection and compatibility which keeps the fade resistant shock oil clean and dampening consistent. All this insures that you get many miles of trouble free operation.
Magnum springs are dual rated and they are so good they come with a
manufacturers Lifetime warranty! Spring rates are matched to the proper load
carrying capacity for your needs. Optional heavy duty springs for two up, racing
or extra load carrying capacity are available for most applications.

NOTE: All Progressive Suspension shocks are the same except for length. Example: If you have an 1100cc and want to drop the bike by 1" use 77-1201 shock body and corresponding spring.
Note: If
you are wanting to lower the bike here are some suggestions:
You want to do everything in small stages as you are changing the dynamics of
the bike.
1. Shorter shocks but never more than an inch as you can starve the U-Joint of lubrication.
2. Remove some foam from the seat.
3. Lower the triple clamp on the forks.
4. Lower profile tires.
