Could you give me the exact part number for the 970 series shocks you ordered?

I have just over 8000 miles on them so far. I can say they are easy to adjust when riding 2up and solo. I have had no issue with them to this point. Over all very pleased.Jim Goodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07871146786195866748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3716714373136327453.post-25533736773208897382014-06-02T19:24:48.763-07:002014-06-02T19:24:48.763-07:00Hey Bullit, I may be way late on my comments here,...Hey Bullit, I may be way late on my comments here, but I just ran into this blog and saw this awesome bike. My congratulations to Jim G! I hope he has kept his bike as he commented on an earlier post. I was wondering if you could ask Jim about his insights on the Progressive 970 series shocks he used. I love their looks, but the people at Progressive have not tested them on a Triumph Scrambler so cannot recommend.

He now runs TC Bros. bars, still drag bars with 2 inch pull back. Look just the same:<br /> <br />http://www.tcbroschoppers.com/index.php/tc-bros-drag-bars-chrome-finish.html<br /><br />Hope that helps!Patrick Flynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16982740211987702981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3716714373136327453.post-60596841617125556642013-01-22T19:24:47.841-08:002013-01-22T19:24:47.841-08:00what's the handle bar? could you please gives ...what's the handle bar? could you please gives me the name or type?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11641958055265632594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3716714373136327453.post-57137530204653694962013-01-22T09:57:45.448-08:002013-01-22T09:57:45.448-08:00Hi

I get a lot of good and bad comments on it. But it is mine and built to fit me which it does so well. Since you posted it here, it found its way on Bike Exif, and about 4 other blogs with links back to you. It also found its way to Triumph North America's Facebook page and more repost then I can count on Facebook and twitter. Again thank so much for posting it and adding to your header rotating banner.Jim G.https://www.facebook.com/jimgoodjrnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3716714373136327453.post-8667469873197735812012-04-23T10:30:47.202-07:002012-04-23T10:30:47.202-07:00Pretty sure that's a stock Triumph seat.

As for the blend, I can't really say as it was mixed just that once to match and really don't think the painter keep track."
