Ohlins for FXR

[Detlev]

Just rang CKTechnical about getting a shock like pumba for my FXR and the price that I was given was about $800 and they need the bike to do the shock.That pretty much puts an end to that Idea.

[Mental Trousers]

Was Pumba's done just recently?? I saw it there and had a bit of a giggle. The shock is worth twice what the bike is!!

[Detlev]

I had a chat with Pumba and he told me the shock had been a recent addition to his bike and the cost was $600 and there was no need to send the bike to New Plymouth.

Sounds like a bargain to me. Look at the alternatives, duff around on the stock (probably stuffed) shock or buy something cheaper that MIGHT work. Good suspension equals a faster bike.

That's pretty bloody cheap for them to fit it. I imagine the top mounting point requires modification, or the linkages. Either way it's a bargain.

Ring Kerry Dukie on 0800 I BLO GOATS

He'll make you a shock out of a toilet paper tube, empty Red Bull can, two piece of bailing twine and a trampoline spring. And what's more that shock would out perform anything available to current MotoGP teams.......

JTFC, I paid about $800 for my fixxer. Road registered, wof'ed and all.

Time to realise that it really is "just a bucket". You don't need flash shit on yer bike until you can outride what you're currently riding!! Look at the geometrical setup of your FXR. Foot pegs, seat position and handle bars etc BEFORE you look at pouring $$ into suspension mate. They're just FXR's, they're not worth it! IMHO.

I don't think it is actually Paul. It's possibly more to do with the fact that I'm an arsehole I should think.

I'd be inclined to agree with you

To be honest I partly agree with you, ride what you have until it is the limiting factor, and It seems like a s**tload of cash to drop on a shock for an FXR. However, Pumba's standard shock was rooted, and if I found myself in that position I'd be looking at something aftermarket and new if I could find the cash, because the only other option I can see is to buy a secondhand FXR shock that is probably not far off just as screwed as the one coming out if not just as bad.

I'm going through this, being a fat fooker is probally part of the issue. Its a bag for bucks thing and are more than happy to pay decent money for somthing good. I'm looking at one of these http://www.yss-australia.com/VIEW.ph...del#searchview at 1/2 an Ohlins its closer to the mark but its fooken heaps if it comes in and is wrong.
