replica shock absorbers

(1/4) > >>

wolfheze:
Hi all. Has anyone tried the replica shock absorbers from silvers? I have a K2 with aftermarket shock absorbers which are too long. Although they seem fairly well sprung and damped the increase in rear ride height is causing some interesting high speed stability issues ! Would like to sort this out but not at the expense of a wallowy rear end.

               Many thanks.

The ones DSS sell are bloody expensive for what they are. Try a guy on ebay, goes by the name of 101 Turbogas. Fitted a few of his shocks with no complaints.

hey Wolf ... do you get front end tank slapper tendencies and what lenght are the rear shocks. Got some tank slapping tendencies with +48mm shocks masel

wolfheze:
Ok thanks for the quick response!

I will check out the ebay guy. Yes above 80 mph it starts to feel distinctly unstable. although dosent feel as though its going to develop into a full blown slapper it is a little disconcerting and quite tiring to ride. shock absorber length is 13.5 inches. I think standard ones are 13 ?.

I bought a set from silvers a while back 3 years or more,as for handling all I can say they are fine up to 70mph never gone any faster than that I am in no rush here.
Cheers
