Not a lot of tuning options as these are fairly basic upgraded shocks over the $5 shocks that come on a P1K standard, deluxe and Forest edition. You could look for a more progressive springs and fiddle with compression settings, or purchase Fox or Elkas. Not sure if King makes anything for a Talon? Considering many just put around in these, probably a non issue for that crowd.

According to Honda.
The top springs has little to no purpose at 1G.

Looked more like a helper spring to me which seems to be verified by Honda. Depending on how they are retaining it at top there should be a work around for crossover or dual rate depending on what terminology you are using. That is even if it is needed for most people

How about, no shocks installed, and a discount for those who know they are going to upgrade whatever Honda puts on anyway.

I've said the same thing about Harley stuff. Everyone upgrades exhaust, sell me a bike with no exhaust and a $200 discount
No shocks, skid plate, a-arms, radius rods, cage, wheels…. lol.

I can almost guarantee that the shock body is grooved for a snap ring and that's what holds the top collar in position on the shock. A threaded collar can be slid over the shock and retained with said snap ring to make them dual rate/adjustable. Low end Bilistein(sp) coilovers are built this way and so are most hotrod style coilovers. While it sucks that the shocks don't have threaded bodies it's also not the end of the world.
Whoever is the first to make replacement threaded collars and crossover rings for these will be selling them like hot cakes if done right.

No the 500 comes with anti-shocks, otherwise known as bump multipliers.

Snap ring goes on shock body, threaded sleeve slides on shock from bottom and stops on snap ring, thread your adjuster on, install top spring, install crossover nut and slider, install lower spring and lower spring retainer. Easy peasy
@highpocket74...... Want to add another product to your Talon line up? With some testing you could even sell complete dual rate spring kits to go along with the collars.

Anybody have a picture of the shock fully extended? I'd like to see what the springs look like with no load on them.

I'm not a shock expert so I'll leave that to Shock Therapy or someone like that. My plate is full with intake kits and seat risers!
