Better spending £140 on a set of basic hagons or if you can justify it £260 for a set of Ikon (Koni) shocks.. alternately you can pick up a set of s/hand konis from e bay, and as long as the rods are good you can rebuild them about £50 for parts and oil

Any advice is welcome Compared to the costs of some good shocks...........................what do you think? If the bike is a shitter / runaround - why not, anything better or worthwhile - spend some decent coin on proper parts! |

Thanks for the recommendation, I have emailed them for a delivered price. When they say Gas shocks I take it there not pneumatic, is so that's new to me, what the difference in how they perform?

Mega you usually get two sets springs, I've gone for softer set on my set up works nice plush , and doesn't upset rear end at all. Works well with my slingshot forks upfront. Nice to fit and easy to tweek as well. Well worth money busa ash has set too on his gs project .As for gas it's nitrogen in chamber and fit forget for good while.

I contacted these guys but all they can offer me for my bike is a standard set of conventional Crome spings?  |
