Before I start I know I could crawl under and look, but due to health issues this isn't something I need to due. Now then, I have a 2000 Dutch Star and the ride is very bouncy. I'm thinking bad shocks...
There are Two on the Front and Two on the Back! OEM are Bilsteins! Easily replaced by any decent Mechanic! The biggest hurdle will be cross referencing the New Shocks with the Old ,as They changed the Numbers a couple of Years back! Spartan will give You the OldNumbers!
