Default 50% off Ricor Shocks INTIMINATORS

This is a limited time offer. It will end under a couple of conditions, a dealer/distributer purchases for sale, we run low on inventory, or we get to a certain number of sales.

At this price we are not making any money so in exchange we are asking that anyone that takes advantage of this limited time offer writes an honest review of what they think of the bike after the install of our INTIMINATORS.

The discount is NOT on the oil. Sorry but there is almost no margin selling that stuff. We only sell it for your convenience. If you are careful you can get away with 1 quart 2 is safe.


FAQ’s
  • Do I need to also change springs?
For 90% of the population I would say no. Try it with our system first if you still think you need it then do it.
  • I have already changed my springs will it still work?
Yes. We have had people change back to stock springs after but also many stay with what they currently have.
  • Do I need to drill my damper rods?
No. We use a lighter oil so the damper rod hole size becomes less of an issue.
  • I’ve already drilled my damper rod for a different product, is that ok?
Yes. The INTIMINATOR controls the dampening, NOT the damper rod.
  • Is installation difficult?
No, it’s as easy as changing springs. Drain your oil, pull the springs, fill oil, drop in the INTIMINATOR and replace the spring. Some people also cut the spring spacer the same length as the INTIMINATOR takes up to keep the same sag.
  • How does your product differ from other products on the market?
There are other products on the market that are similar in that they also meter the oil at the top of the damper rod. Other products on the market use a small bleed then a coil spring blow off. Their system is adjustable by either changing the spring or the spring preload on the blow off valve. Our system has no bleeds and uses shims for the low speed compression, the same shims you find in most high end cartridge systems. Where the magic happens is with the inertia valve. Our system is the only system on the market that can tell if the tire is trying to move or the chassis is trying to move. So we can valve for an optimum wheel response independent of the chassis response and also at the same time valve for the optimum chassis response independent of the wheel response.
  • How do I get the discount?
Enter “klr650.net” in the coupon code.

Wow great deal. I will be looking into this. How long do you suspect that this deal will be going on? I understand it could end at any moment but do you have a definite time frame when it will end?

how much fork oil will be needed for install? quart per fork? at 11 dollars a quart, i'd rather order enough, than too much.

Well I ordered up a pair today, $150 off is just a little too good to miss. I have progressive springs installed so once I get these I'll be posting a review of how they work with my setup. From everything I've read on the Harley forums, I'm expecting some nice improvements.

I was thinking about cartridge emulators before I saw these, as the progressive springs just didn't quite kill enough of my forward dive as I would have liked... I'm a big guy :-)

From what I'm reading they improve performance on most surfaces. Your front tire stays put on the roadway better and you move around less. Check out this post on a Harley forum for a more detailed review of street performance.

I do 90% on road riding and while I do plan on hitting some forest service roads this summer, there will be no HolyCaveMan log jumping in my future :-)

Will these affect on-road preformance as much as they will affect off-road preformance?

If you ride slow and avoid any bumps I wouldn't waste your money.

If you corner hard or don't like woundering what the bike is going to do when braking hard then this will be a great thing for you. Overall street stability will be greatly improved.

In the short time I've had them, for the kind of "on-road" riding I do I would say yes.

I'm one of those guys who's always looking for the back road. I hate city riding and I will go pretty far out of my way to take a good ol' two lane black top instead of a fancy interstate.

One of my favorite street rides is from Searchlight NV to Palm Springs through Nipton, Kelso, Cima, Amboy, and 29 Palms. It is all patched together, crappy two lane with deep sand for shoulders with twists and turns and several train track crossings. There are quite a few big dips with G-outs followed by turns and more potholes. The control that I now have makes me look forward to doing this ride instead of the usual nervous stomach. I'm afraid that it is inevitible that sooner or later I will end up out on the sandy shoulder at speed and I think the control and anti-dive qualities that I now have would give me a fighting chance to keep it upright.

I don't do enough daily commute type stuff to have much of an opinion but I did ride the scenic route around Lake Mead yesterday with some riders from a local website. It is a nice two lane with some decent turns. The fact that I can't remember anything at all about what the bike did the whole time is probably a good thing. It really just settles in and does what it should. I do remeber looking at my speedometer a lot because it is much easier to speed now.

I hope this helps you to decide. I've said this in earlier posts but IMHO the added safety of better control and handling alone makes these seem worth it to me.

Yes the deal is still valid.
Ordered mine last week and they arrived this week as promised.
Have yet to install them but based on the opinions of others I am sure it will be the improvement I am looking for.
