    You can buy a ''reasonably priced shock'' ( aftermarket ) for maybe around $800 to $900 or so BUT that price represents low cost materials and minimal individual development for each bike. Mass market cheap replacement average performance. And its always relevant to quote ''the best youve ridden is the best you know''

    Alternatively you can purchase a name brand high quality shock and totally ignore the misinformed comments that the prices are horrendous and they are for fast riders. In fact the listing for the product I sell ( Ohlins ) retails at $1299 incl of gst and is road bike specific.
    Cheers for that Robert! The Ohlins shock sounds very reasonably priced! Yeah the suzuki shock was well pricey. I was'nt looking for a cheap option it's just I was told 1500-2000 and considering the age of the bike I was wondering if it was going to be worth the cost! But 1200 is in the price range especially for an Ohlins set up.
    I will be going to the race at Taupo on the 13th I might catch up with you there before the racing starts.
    Cheers
    Rick
