Buckster Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 I think I am going to get some new rear shocks, I serviced the air shocks a while back and it improved them a lot but they are still crap for our lovely pock marked roads so it is time to get something better. I have done a bit of research, general consensus is that Ohlins are best but at a price that is just stupid, next best are less than have the price so I’m planning on getting a set of THESE. I’m pretty sure anything will be better than stock so these should be a major improvement, I’ll be running rings round sports bikes any day now. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boboneleg Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 I sold some Ohlins recently for a V-Rod . We had them to fit on a twin shock race bike but the project got shelved, the buyer was well chuffed with them . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're similar in quality to Ohlins for motorsport, but cheaper and made in the UK. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
