New 2016 Triumph T120 rear shock suggestions?

[kevman]

Hi guys.
just picked up new bonneville T-120 and not very happy with rear suspension. Very harsh. I'm looking for shocks that are adjustable for at least rebound damping and have preload adjustment. Nothing crazy expensive like Ohlins or White Power, but something effective that will give decent life.

Thanks in advance

I used to think Koni's were ok, and they are now called Ikons, you need to select the springs carefully as nothing worse than oversprung and under damped.

You might get better answers on the Triumph Forum, thats where I looked when I had a Thruxton.

Try Hagon - they appear a popular mod on the earlier incarnation.

Possibly to soon for the aftermarket to have a good selection of choices?

Robert Taylor (along with Ohlins) also supplies Nitron which is a cheaper option. Plus, with his ability, if nothing was available off the shelf he could probably sort something.

Mmmmmmm Nitron shocks.

Seriously - at that price they don't have any suspension adjustment ???

You can adjust all you like but Triumph cheap out on suspension so only choice is something better. Robert will sort you out.
