Replacement rear shocks
So, what do people recommend as a set of good quality shocks for my 1100 that arrived today?

Re: Replacement rear shocks
Hagons are popular. Not too expensive.
Then there are IKON, they used to KONI.
Of course you could start spending cash on Wilbers, or Ohlins.
Plus there are a number of unbranded items on weEvil BAY.

What's wagon?
I will have to set up a photo bucket account to post pics. I'm pleased though!!!
It's getting a new coat of paint back to silver (got all the transfers now from B&B Suzuki in Lincoln)
Oh and I need to get it registered....

So here is the jolly nice dutchman Ben delivering me Kat yesterday. He got the shuttle at 2.30 in the morning. He also gave me that jacket he was wearing!
Re: Replacement rear shocks
Its a nice paint job, I have to admit, but what I want is the bike I drooled after in the early 80's... (the usual story, saw one in a bike shop etc...)
Ohlins will be way too much for me. I'm trying to finish a TS185ER so cash is going out far faster than its coming in.
I wouldnt mind a pair of piggy back shocks of some description mind you.
Its a 50th birthday present to meself, and Ive set a budget of £1500 to cover paint, and a thorough going over by my mate Trigg.
