    Any of you folks that have tried 650 Savage shocks, speak up. Have found a set (10k mi) at really good price. Let me know what you thought about them. Thanks...

    Hi skillet. I Googled savage shocks, and in the UK they are made for radio controlled vehicles!

    Sorry!

    I read on another forum that theyare being used to lower the rear of the Honda Shadows and work well, but no knowledge about them on our XJs so far. I assume being the bikes are similar in weight, they should do the trick if they fit.

    I've seen them on here, they lover them down a little bit but not too much, i think they look really nice, and im SURe they have to be better than the stockers, go for it

    As in, taken off a Suzuki?

    GAAAAK

    Probably just about as superb as the original KYB cr*pola that came on most of the XJs (except the 900s.)

    Honestly; probably not all that great right off the showroom floor; if they have more than 6000 miles on them they're all done or nearly so.

    Spend your money on some decent aftermarket shocks.
