YSS shocks?

<< < (3/3)

I see that DSS has chrome/chrome shocks for about 2x the price of the Legends.  Are the DSS shocks actually better shocks to justify the higher price?

I've been using Ikon 7610-1296 SP8 on my CB750F1 for the last 5 years after first wasting 170 quid on Jap made DSS supplied shockers that started to leak after a year when the warranty expired.

- the Koni 76f-1302 ones that came on it were shorter than stock, so it was sitting too low on the rear plus made it much harder to get on the centre stand, as well as sitting near vertical on the side stand.

They seem fine, they were the correct diameter for the top mount, but they were tight against the chain guard. The coil spring seems to be a looser coil than in the pics, but it doesn't bother me. It rides nice enough

I got IKON shocks directly from the factory in Australia. They were shipped with one spring upside down - with reference to the other one as it seems you can mount them either way.

That said, even mounted as they came, they were good.
