    I called a Harley Davidson shop. There reply was to replace it. What ever I applied will be subjected to the same abuse and will not last.

    I don't know if they want to sell me new shocks or they are right.

    I'm open to any opinion.

    The front shocks finish only last a few years about it gets all pitted looking. Since it seasonal hobby the finish only last just over a year. If the bike get ridden few months out of the year.

    If you wanna have a bit of a laugh.....

    Ride into HD with a Japanese bike. Ask if they have any take off mufflers that'll fit.

    I go to HD shops all the time with rice rockets. I get laughed at, but I make it back home without breaking down.

    Yeah, it is said that 99% of HDs are still on the road.

    They don't mention the other 1% that made it home.
