Got to say I've been very impressed with my Koni's. Up side is they are adjustable (you set the resistance during installation). I actually put them in 'too rigid' and had a really hard ride. I took them out to adjust them again and the ride is great. I've only got about 20k on them, but with a lifetime warranty, I've got a pretty good peace-of-mind feeling. I had one fail (more so the retaining nut than the shock itself) right after installation. Koni stepped up to the plate and cross-shipped a new one to me without hesitation.The only down side; they're pricey at ~$100 for each corner. -Gregg 90 Westy (Blueberry) On Wed, Dec 5, 2012 at 10:46 PM, OlRivrRat <OlRivrRat@comcast.net> wrote: > Mark > > I April2011, about 20K miles ago, I put Monroe GasMagnums on my > 90Westy & so far I have not > > encountered any reasons to feel anything but good about them.
