[Out and about]

Just brought a 2006 Sportster.. but the rear engine cover not popping up.. so new gas struts ordered.. (Hmm tested the existing ones... Repco.. Jan 2022 - What! 165N ..) ok 300N is what is recommended.. (we have 23 kg each side currently = 230N) I waiting on the the nice stainless ones from Queensland.. Prevision Gas Springs (Opps - not endorsing.. yet) .. 710MM EXTENDED 315MM STROKE 8x18 STAINLESS STEEL GAS STRUT 316SS8 C710/315 B0SS B0SS.

Well the gas struts are E-X-C-E-L-L-E-N-T ! Pull the release level and up the batch hatch goes - nice and steady! Once up not blowing down! And not going up at a rate that would tear the hinges off!

The same day I got the front shock from Bay Area Power Sports and it's excellent too.. doesn't really lift the front hatch but it is no longer going to blow down!

I solved the same problem on my 2004 Sportster by installing another spring inside each gas strut spring. In other words it's a spring within a spring. Problem solved with hardly any cost.

Can I get the website you ordered the struts from?

PRECISION GAS SPRINGS PTY LTD
I have to say.. they work superbly. You pull the latch and it looks like nothing is happening.. but it slowly rises! And when you shut it you realise you don't want stronger ones!

Also I replaced the port and starboard lights with LEDs - they're great
