Fournales Shocks, Here’s the Lowdown After 30,000 Or So Kilometres.

In this podacst Andy talks about his affair with the Fournales Shockies on his Harley Wide Glide. Until I bought the BMW R1200GS the Harley was my main ride. And the main riding I did was longer distance touring, mostly one up but occaisionally with a pillion and all the gear stowed on board. I did and still do like scratching around the corners when they appear. I live in pretty flat country in the middle of South Australia so when I hit the twisties in NSW or Victoria I can’t help myself.

Of course with a wideglide this LITERALLY means scratching. I leave a souvenier wherever I “scratch”. Bits of exhaust, footpegs, crashbar, primary case or frame and when two up this can be serious metal abrasion. Or it was until I purchased and fitted the Fournales Shocks on the rear.

In this photo I have unscrewed the chrome cover and you can see the air valve at the top of the shocky

This is what a high pressure, low volume pump looks like. You will need one of these to go to 300psi.

In this podcast I’ll cover:

Fitting

Handling

Ride Height

Air Pressure

Dispelling the “Hard as nails” myth.

After many K’s with the Fournales I can safely say I wish I’d fitted them 100,000 K’s a go on the Wilma Wideglide. They have made a HUGE difference to the bike.

I did a lot of research on google trying to find some web based information, and couldn’t find anything worthwhile. However if you are interested in Fournales here is the email of the guy who imports them into Australia Bertrand Cadart. You can contact him on lefrogscorner@lycos.com. Yes he is French.
