Ohlins for FXR

[Arronduke]

Hell what a can of worms.

Still i am some way off needing a new shock... need to get it running well first.

BUT when i do... at least I now have a few options.... paint the spring... add an ohlins sticker and walk around with my nose in the air....

heee

[Dutchee]

I don't get why anyone should get upset about people deciding they need Ohlins or WP.

Some fat barstards probably do need heavier shocks/forks for their bikes, otherwise they might need to go on a diet, and what's cheaper and easier? And really why spend a couple of hundy (if you can afford it) on a second hand POS shock that is quite possibly as flogged as the one taken out. Better option would be to get something decent.

Also, it is totally wank value, but I keep forgetting to look at Pumba's bike - hmmm, maybe that's why he keeps crashing - to show off the shock to those who haven't actually noticed it when the bike is upright. Sorry Pumba, I promise next time I see your bike I'll go and drawl all over the shock.

Arron, this bike of yours better be good, have lots of bling and that we all need to have a bib to wipe the dribble off, or you're so going to get heaps of shit from all of us (just for a change). No excuses any more, I read how impressed Kel was with your riding on the weekend - MAN UP DUDE.

Have found another option .

Hey, don't get me wrong I have no problems with people paying for suspension of any kind. I was just stating what I think for me personally. If I had a bit of spare $$ and I could ride my bike a lil harder then I would be getting whatever....

I just know how much detlev hates spending $$!!

Have found another option .

Excellent, whatcha got?

[Detlev]

If it is a sucess will post all the details, after our next meeting in december.

[Shorty_925]

what happened to the YSS option?

[Pumba]

Hmmm, it apears I have been outed

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.

For the record, as much as it matters, the price I told you certinaly wasnt a qoute, and I said you may not need to send CKT the bike. And I recomended you contact CKT and discuss it directly with them and get the answers direct for the full story, which clearly you have now done.

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!!

I am sure you wernt the only one. Even I thought it was funny after visiting the shop. The bike seemed a little out of place.

.............Some fat barstards probably do need heavier shocks/forks for their bikes..............Also, it is totally wank value, but I keep forgetting to look at Pumba's bike.........

Well if the first one wasnt a dig the second one defently was. Its a shame you are such I nice person or I could take offence

Take offence anyway.

[Detlev]

If you want to spend the dosh on your bike good on you.

[Detlev]

what happened to the YSS option?

this one should come in $200 cheaper and maybe just as good.

you buy it, give/lend it to me for a bit and ill put it in my bike to test it out before I consider if i want to buy one the same

[Yow Ling]

That kinda money isnt too bad, considering I just had a new spring made for my rear shock, the spring alone was $160. Well worth it too !. The shock I use is a showa off a a 95 rs125. for the people who say a stock shock is best , try a really good shock , you may be suprised

[RMS eng]

you can give me a call about a price to fix your shock,do alot of rebuilds and repairs on old VMX and new race shocks .chris RMS engineering 09 817 9500 check out my old web site,new one coming soon.www.rms-engnz.netfirms.com

[Gremlin]

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.

[F5 Dave]

On my old RG I used an old RM80 shock shortened internally. From memory I think Chris did it & it held together & worked well. So yeah RMS is well worth considering if you don't want to punt the brand new flash shock prices.
