View Full Version : Where do I go for a quote on a suspension upgrade?

I'm thinking that if I spend anymore money on my bike (Suzuki VL800) the best thing would be to upgrade the soft suspension.
I can live with it one up, but with a pillion the ride gets a bit harsh on the ole buttocks after a few hours!! :confused:


Can anyone give me tips on where to go locally (or should I buy overseas?).
I guess Ohlins would be the ultimate, so I'm really interested to see what the price is.
Any other brands worth looking at?



I'm also wandering, is it worth doing both front and back...or will changing only the rear give enough increased performance to suffice?




EDIT: I've just found Crown Kiwi Technical, so will contact them about the Ohlins.
