That’s pretty cool. I have a 2006 model which had the Traxxion shock already on it when I bought it. I bought the bike used in 2021 with 191,000 miles on it. Unfortunately, early this year, the shock decided to blow out completely. Obviously the engineering of this shock is far better than OEM since it lasted 18 years. I did call about possibly getting it rebuilt, but unfortunately, I could not afford to do that. My friend had just converted his 2016 to a trike and it only had just over 20,000 miles on it so I got the shock off of his bike and installed it in mine. The old Traxxion shock will go to that great recycle bin in the sky! 😂 I did have the foresight to buy the steel braided line from your company which I’m sure will make a difference. Also, thanks so much to Dan for answering all my questions and getting the line delivered to me quickly.
So your manual adjuster pushes the fluid to the shock and vice versa as you turn it, as opposed to the electric pump doing it? Also, how does one know if the shock is just plain worn out? I’m also hearing a squeak in the suspension when I hit bumps. Please reply; thank you.
Yes, that is how it works exactly! To find the squeak, you'll need to take things apart. It is possible to pull apart the linkage and leave the shock hanging in the bike. Then you can move the individual pieces and find the squeak. They come with almost ZERO grease in the bearings from the factory, so it's good practice to do this one way or the other.
They are separate items with separate intents. This part can be installed without removing the shock absorber from the bike... you only need to take the reservoir loose to replace this part.
Hello my friend, I have a problem with the Goldwing. The rear hydraulic does not raise or lower. It says on the screen preoled adjust eroor. Where is the problem? Also, the radio has cut off sound from the speakers and buttons. I hope you can advise me.
Agreed... the electronic latches on the 2018+ are a perfect example... they fail all the time, and Honda has a hidden mechanical cable backup system on the bike... what a waste of money.
That’s pretty cool.

This is great to know you have done this mod, in the event of mine dying on my 2002 someday.
i can see this handy once the gearing goes bad

Do you use the braided reinforced hydraulic hose to this application?

Max. How does this work with ur suspension system I have on my 2012
It's really only necessary if your electronic adjusting system fails. If yours is working, you are fine.

Sorry, but that's impossible to diagnose on RUclips. But you may be the perfect candidate for this product if you can't find the problem.
Less electronics the better
