If you want to know more about the Fournales Pan Cruise shocks I've fitted to my 2008 Harley Davidson Fatboy the posts below follow the action as it happen. Follow us on Twitter or subscribe to the site's RSS etc to keep up to date with progress. This is not meant to be a technical blog, if you want to know more about that side of things then if you live in Western Australia give Dean at Thundertech a call or check out the technical info on the Fournales site. There is an Australian distributor but can't track him down on the web!

The Briefing!

So I picked up the bike with the Fournales fitted on Saturday. They look great, such a shame they are hidden underneath the bike!

The shocks were sourced by Thundertech in Mundaring (WA) who now service my bike (thoroughly recommend them).

They've obviously spent some time talking to the local distributor (that Bernard the Frog bloke) to get the low down. The shocks are set up for riders from 80kg to 130kg as standard so no need to adjust from stock. The shocks use a gas chamber (nitrogen in this case) and an oil chamber rather than a spring.

I have a translated page from the Fournales.fr website here which explains the technology:

There is apparently a 1500km break in period so I'm keen to rack up the km! Here are some more pics
