REVIEWS - Romic Shock - by

There is nothing like a good shock to make your fiddy
more comfy and controllable. It can make a HUGE difference!
And Romic makes a darned good shock.
This review was performed on a 2004 CRF50/Stock Swingarm.
Testing was done on a dirt race track, sand, grass and asphalt.
180 lb. rider with 250 spring.
Let's take a look at some of the things I found as pluses
about this shock.
-
It is customized for the rider straight from the factory.
You give them the specs on your bike, your style of riding,
and your weight, and they build to order. The rider doesn't
have to guess at what will work and there's no jury-rigging
needed by the rider during install.
-
This shock is highly adjustable. They have separate
external adjustments for both rebound and compression.
The adjustments vary widely so you can dial it into your
perfect ride for every condition.
- Romic
shocks are about 1/2 the weight of a stock shock.
- This
shock is strong. You are not substituting weight for strength.
I weigh about 180lbs. and the Romic Shock has held up without
a bend or fade in all applications.
- These
shocks are built in the good old USA.
The
Romic company has packaged performance, quality, tune-ability
and sleek, lite design into one terrific shock. If you are
in the market for a new shock, I recommend you give this one
a try. The Romic site listed below has specs and more info
if you are interested.

About
the Author: Pam aka 50ccchick, your MTTM site
hostess- I started riding motorcycles when I was about 5.
We had a little Yamaha 80, street legal, that I used to tear
around the backyard on. That was, until I got more interested
in riding and raising horses. So the motorcycle went by the
way side for years until my ex got an old Yamaha 750 at a
garage sale and set about fixing it up so we could take rides
together. Course I wanted to drive, so after my divorce, I
went out and got a Honda Shadow 600, then an ACE 750. One
night while watching TV I saw these old people riding around
on kids motorbikes and it looked like a hell of a lotta fun.
So, I went out and got a fiddy and since then I've been having
a blast fixing it up and riding and racing it around.
