Motorcycle shock bolt snapping – progressive shocks
Okay, here comes my motorcycle riding story in the category of ‘there I was – thought I was going to die!’. this video is about shearing off the rear bolt that holds one of my two progressive shocks on my American Ironhorse Texas Chopper motorcycle.
I have a lot to say in this video and so it got a little long, now this video should be considered number one of two videos ( working on the second one right now) about this motorcycle riding incident. This first video talks about exactly what happened leading up to and during the bolt that secures my progressive 442 shocks to the frame of my motorcycle snapping off on the freeway.
My two favorite factory built custom choppers, the American Ironhorse and the Big Dog motorcycles both use the Progressive 422 shocks mounted horizontally under a number of their softail models. currently I’m riding the Texas Chopper that shown in this video, but, I have owned, and hopefully will only again, a Big Dog K-9. Both of these great bikesuse the horizontally mounted progressive 422 shocks
