Are there any options for new rear suspension?Yes.
The shocks from the VTX 1300, 1800, and FAR are all bolt-on options to the Super. If you use any of these shocks as they are, they will lower the back of your bike a couple inches.

With the model file of the derby cover and the artwork in hand,we set out to do what we do best, turning visions into reality.

Challenges Ahead
One of the first challenges we face is on the artwork itself. With sophisticated and organic details, there is simplyno way to make a truthful representation of that from within the computer. On the other hand, as the entire cover iscircled by the bandolier detail, it is simply impossible to keep them aligned symmetrically in the hand sculptingprocess. Also of concern is the size.

There are many lowering shocks for touring bikes on the market. Unfortunately many are sacrificing the suspension travel, so the ride comfort.

Progressive-rate springs, threaded preload adjustment and external compression adjustment knob allow for fine tuning to suit rider weight and riding style.
