Subscriberno love on original shock info? 06 maxis?
also, trying to find correct kickstand spring size. I have tried 3 (4”-4-1/4”-if i remember correctly) and they keep snapping at the hook, and i gotta catch the kickstand and hold in place with my heel till i canpull over and tie it up in place and try again 🤦♂️

AdministratorUnfortunately, I do not know the answer about the shock bushings. You’ll have to pull the shock and let us know. We used the Drag Specialties Chrome Kickstand Springs. The 3.9″ is DS-233679

SubscriberThanks so much. I ordered the 2” diameter adjustable shocks from Drag. I appreciated the kickstand spring info Stephan!

Subscriberactually, just found out the 2” skinnier diameter shocks leak easier than the wide body, so we stayed with the bigger diameter style shocks. $120 a pair!

SubscriberDo you have a part number for the shocks you went with? I have one that’s been leaking on my Banshee and I would like to replace them. Thank you.

Subscriber@white -The shocks I ordered came from Mid-USA motorcycle parts and the part number is 29096. They are adjustable shocks which will allow you to change the stance up to 1-1/2″ lower, up to an 1/2″ higher. To tighten pre-load, the shock canister gets rotated counter clockwise & to reduce preload rotate the shock canister clockwise. There is a weird dual pronged wrench I got off Amazon Prime for $13 for the shock canisters, but I had to grind it the wrench prongs thinner to get them to fully fit the canister holes)
The shocks I removed, have what I assume is a part # on them which reads 55001-002c. And under that it reads 10/04, so maybe they were manufactured in OCT 2004 – but I don’t know that for sure. I am also not the first owner of the bike, so I cannot even say they are the “off the line” product that was originally installed.

Subscriber@white just so you are aware. I have an 06 maxis. The part # i provided above had to be tightened to a very stiff ride, and the adjustable rods shortened down to the max, because i have a 300mm rear tire (metzger marathon 888) and i was hitting on the inside of the rear fender. Maybe i could have shimmed the fender up a little, but i just messed with ahock adjustments until i was able to get enough clearance with my wife on the back.
