Aftermarket rear shocks

[hawksonfire]

Hey all!!! Ive gotta say this site is kickin' like moms chicken!!!!

But seriously Id like to pick y'alls brains on the effectiveness of different shocks yall are running out there. Best when money is no object and Best bang for the buck. Id like at least low speed dampening(High speed would be great as well but we're talkin $ for a Penske). Hows the 900rr shock?

Y'alls input is appreciated... [/b]

After using (and rebuilding) Fox, Penske, and Ohlins shocks I have had the best success from the Ohlins. Also they tend to be a little cheaper than the Penskes.

Really!? what does an Ohlins Run$$$

Thnxs crash, yeah this last winter my stock shocks' seal failed and pissed out all the hydraulic fluid so unfortunately Im riding on a spring I stiffened up but Its creating a slight wallow if I get too aggresive with it. what's the assesment of the Ohlin. Anyone........Anyone.

Ohlins price is almost the same as Penske 8983.

every racer local to me tells me to get the Penske over the Ohlins because there are a ton of people with the penske tools, but noone has the Ohlins stuff...


really though, i dont think you can go wrong with either one.

Ever so slightly off topic....

Question?
Does anybody have a manual for the Fox Twin clicker?

i've seen full instructions for rebuilding a fox twin-clicker online.................but can't remember where, maybe on a VFR site.

My brother has an SV (Hawk pretender) with a twin-clicker. I think he has a manual. Let me check and I'll post.

I have an Ohlins and love it. The stiction is super low, and my bike sticks like mad. But then again a friend of mine works at Ohlins so the tool thing doesn't scare me, and I got a pretty sweet deal.

[Rydtheslyd]

How about getting me " A pretty sweet deal"

[MrDude_1]

if you guys find that manual, i'll host it like everything else.

[hawksonfire]

I guess I'll just have to pop for the Penske..... Thxs all for the input!!!!!

As my grandmother used to say; "I just want you kids to be happy."

Get whatever shock you think is going to work for you. -crash
