The rear isn't so bad for smaller riders but the front is pretty awful for understeer until springs are swapped if your're heavier. Albeit the damping on the Nitron is lightyears ahead of the stock shock. ____________________ Honda VFR1200F, Honda CBF500 ABS, CZ125 now CZ175 |

I ordered a Nitron rear shock for the Striple at the end of September. The website states 2-3 week lead time, so after 3 1/2 weeks I dropped them an email. This was the response -
"Thank you for your email, we are currently awaiting a part to arrive. This has been scheduled for November."
Not sure if that's the part arriving, them building the shock, or it actually getting to me. They've got a great reputation so I'm hoping it's worth the wait, but not fantastic customer service given that I had to contact them, and even then they've been incredibly vague with dates. ____________________ Current - '94 VFR750FR, '00 VFR800FI Previous - '10 Street Triple R, '92 MZ ETZ301, '05 TTR250, NSR125R, KMX125, "Honda" Win (chinese copy of an old Honda design with a C90 engine)

Yeah, they probably don't even know the dates themselves, there are so many issues with the supply chain at the moment. I know a guy, runs a small upholstery firm, his foam supplier has so few drivers they're only delivering full loads. He doesn't order that much so they just won't deliver to him, at all. And God help Nitron if they're getting parts from the continent.
I'm happy to wait, if they're as good as everyone says I might have a VFR or two that could benefit from an upgrade. ____________________ Current - '94 VFR750FR, '00 VFR800FI Previous - '10 Street Triple R, '92 MZ ETZ301, '05 TTR250, NSR125R, KMX125, "Honda" Win (chinese copy of an old Honda design with a C90 engine)
