Absolutely this I once had some on my XJ and it turned the thing into an unrideable bucking bronco on any uneven road. I confess to knowing jack-shit about suspension but even I could detect these are worthless.. and yet it seems every brat/tracker/bobber shite-hawk shitter features them. You can tell them a mile off with that shroud and the nylon separator between teh 'dual rate' springs.. ____________________ Now: A100, GT250A, XJ598, FZ750

If you wanted a stiffer suspension setup on your 1990s Toyota Land Cruiser, they would be the perfect shocks.
The major problem with bike shocks is that the good ones cost too much. Shocks are either very expensive, or very cheap, and there's nothing in between. I sort of found something in between, in the form of Harley shocks (people who buy new Harleys immediately replace their shocks, so these new/unused standard ones end up on the market). I then went back to original Kawasaki shocks. I will do a write-up on the Harley shocks one day, and will try to word it so the Harleyists don't get too upset, but, to be frank, I don't know which is worse: Harley shocks which fail dangerously, or Chinese "shocks" which are just like iron bars. |

Jeez - what part f that frame is original GSX-R? Presumably just the head-stock. ____________________ Now: A100, GT250A, XJ598, FZ750

How can something painted basically black and red look so bad, and that's before you get onto the engineering.
Talking of which, is that black stockings used as air filters?? ____________________ Triumph Trophy Launch Edition |
