Here are a couple of questions for those of you who use friction shocks, or those who don't. How often do you have to service them. When you do service them, what is required. It is my understanding that "normal" shocks ride better, if that's true, how much better. I like the look, and space saving qualities of friction shocks. Just want to hear the pros and cons. I'm still in the parts gathering/planning stages and want to hear what you have to say. I will admit that I am fairly ignorant about the subject and will probably ask a stupid question or two. Thanks for your input.
