Dime City 11" Shocks vs 650Central

[OakBehringer]

Anyone have any experience with the 650Central 11" shocks?

I also noticed that Dime City has a set of 11inchers for pretty damn cheap, bout $30 cheaper than 650Central's:

Looks like it would be a direct bolt-on to the XS, maybe with some adjustments/swapping of the bushings.

Neither lists a brand name so they might even be the same cheap shocks.

I'd say buy 'em and try 'em. Dime city should have a return policy. $30 is a safe gamble on a set of shocks.

They're $70, $30 cheaper than the shocks on 650central. But really, $70 ain't much. I'll spend that on drinks tomorrow night. Someday I'll upgrade to Progressives, right?

If you want the burley slammers made by progressive, they can be had for $150 for a pair all over the internet. Check Amazon. THere are two variations for the sportster that will both work. The only difference is their travel which is about 1/4" different between the two.

Apologies, thats what I get for browsing this site half asleep.

Do you guys know if either of these are better than the 11.5 shocks from MikesXS?

OakBehringer, Im pretty sure this threads old as SHIT! But did you ever get those DimeCity shocks? Im about to get some and I stumbled across this thread. lol

 

[OakBehringer]

I ended up with Progressive shocks from 650central. I'm really glad I got some Quality vs cheap-os to save a few bucks.

 

[CaseySmithersxs]

How much were the ones you got, and did you end up getting the 11"?

 

[OakBehringer]

Also, I'm lucky if I'm 140lbs soaking wet- The Progressives Mike fit to me (over the phone) are the lightest they make, which is for someone heavier than me, so you gotta figure those dime city shocks are for the average rider and thus WAY too stiff for someone like me.

 

[CaseySmithersxs]

Well im about 135 covered in mud... which length did you get? 650central is kinda hard to navigate around lol.

 

[CaseySmithersxs]

Did you end up with the 11"?

 

[CaseySmithersxs]

Shucks... lol

 

[CaseySmithersxs]

Can I get an answer!!!! lmao

Why dontcha call Mike at 650Central, others posted that he'll talk you thru it...

 

[CaseySmithersxs]

I did, just waiting for him to call me back...

 

[OakBehringer]

Did you get in touch with Mike? I can't remember what I spent or what length they are. Either 11" or 11.5"? They're going to cost more than the Dime City shocks because they're... get this... better. That translates to rider comfort, traction, and handling. Make the splurge.

Thought I would point something out, even though this post is old.
The 11" shocks from Dime City and 650 Central are the same shocks.
The sku is the same on both sites. 32-1151
$30 difference though
