Default Progressive rear shock for Hurricane

Does anybody know if Progressive made a rear shock for the Hurricane. I'm assuming this is no longer available, but I bought one on Ebay and wondering what the specs are for it...can't find anything on the web.

Yeah, wish I could find some info on the web on it. Maybe when it shows up I can get numbers off it and figure out what I've got. It looks like there is an air fitting on it. Could be interesting. I want to insure the ride is right on the conversion bike. Am rebuilding the forks and going through everything mechanical on the bike. Got new tires and brakes. It can't just look good gotta ride good too

Contact factory pro. Their website still talks about all the tuning and different parts and manufacturers they went through when tuning the bikes in for AMA in 87-89. One section is just on shock tunes and parts

Looked all over that website and couldn't find anything on CBR Hurricane. If you know where it is could you give me a link?

Nothing about a shock here. Give them a call, Marc is a great guy - very helpful.

Zach,

You have one of these shocks? Trying to find specs on it. Can you tell me anything?
