My question can be taken a stage further to ask if any shocker manufacturer (AVO ?) has intended their shocker design to be used in a Trad Morgan to also perform a bump stop function...?


Reckon we should see if PJB can swing in to the discussion.

On the SSL website he lists " Rear SPAX adjustable dampers with bump stops, direct replacements". One would assume, in this day of warranty and litigation, that SPAX would have had to approve them for this purpose, and also assume that the original MMC shocks do not have this feature. However making assumptions is always dangerous. smile smile
