white power

[FilthyLuka]

seriously now, i need some white power shocks

I managed to get my mitts on a 1986 GSXR750 oil boiler, but the rear shock is still stock and pretty sad. So, im looking for a WP 4014 Emulsion rear shock, or perhaps a fusion if the price is right. Anyone know a dealer or retailer in new zealand (double points if its they're in auckland) that stocks WP shocks?

TIA guys

The Penske sport shock is a good option for that bike, it's a really nice shock for the money.

Thanks for your healthy comment RE this product.

I have only recently learned that Max was doing this unit, and have spoken to a few riders in the states who use them, and they all say that they are very happy with them!

I have 10 units on the way now for a variety of bikes

The Ohlins shock listed for this model is a hose reservoir type with independent rebound and compression adjustment, $1399 incl gst. Certainly more than an emulsion ( milkshake! ) shock and certainly also more than a single tube shock that has rebound adjustment only. Given that squat control is an issue the compression adjuster is a very good thing to have and decent damping control adjustment ( actually any at all ) allows compensation for a variance in surface conditions and to control spring movement in bump. If there is no compression adjustment you will be stuck with it and may very well not be struck with it! The instinct is to spring up to control squat but that can create issue with too much spring force for large shaft movements.
If you want the very best and also the very best service and backup there is no finer shock than Ohlins.

The Penske Model number 8983 has all that the Ohlin's has to offer, in terms of Rebound adjustment and comression adjustment, as well as ride height adjustment

You know where to go to, to read about them www.traxxion.com

And they are also Quite a bit cheaper than the Ohlin's product, which is a great product

You know who to contact, if interested in a price

The only service I can offer you, is experience from an ex not bad rider

If your on a limited budget go with the sport shock, if you have the money go with the 8983 it's a far superior sock to the Ohlins, the Ohlins has a steel body that wears and sends the oil black really fast, they need the oil and piston rings changing regularly, leave it too long to get it serviced and the sludge that builds up in the reservoir can affect the valving.

Being The Ohlins Distributor I can only recite that what is written above is absolute baloney and that its all very well to fabricate such MISCHIEVOUS nonsense when hiding behind a position of anonymity. What axe is being ground here?
The internal wearing surface in fact has a plating and of course is cross honed. We see 40000ks or often much longer between services and certainly then you will replace the piston ring as you would any shock. Black sludge is something we only see regularly in oem suspension units, especially those that are not coated internally.
Point of fact, it is not only about price. When you purchase an Ohlins shock in NZ you get service and backup from far and away the most knowledgable service centre in NZ, with in excess of 20 years of external set up but also intimate experience with the INTERNALS of shocks. We have not just attended one manufacturers training school for 3 or 4 days and set ourselves up as ''suspension gurus'' Every shock we send out is set up specifically for the individual customers personal stats, loading and application, and btw we use the genuine Ohlins oil that is very stable over a very long period
With the three major top end brands its a no brainer what you would choose to distribute as a total package if you had first choice, Ohlins.

Fox shocks? They still make shocks? Thought they abandoned that to focus on the fashion industry


Can you get Ohlins on hire purchase?

Fox are still at it, horses for courses of course, in terms of what quality versus money the customer wants to spend

Your wish is my desire

Can you get Ohlins on hire purchase?

Guess you would have the Ohlin's man that question dude

Bank interest rates are more attractive than HP rates! We specialise in suspension supply and very top level service, nothing else.

Good morning Robert

There is absolutely no fabrication here whatsoever, I'm just saying what I see, I have no axe to grind at all, I'm quite happy to state that Ohlins aluminium bodied shocks are a very good shock, as are WP and Penske. Unfortunately many riders consider shocks to be a sealed for life component, if you service a 3 year old shock with a hard anodised aluminium body the oil comes out fairly clean, do the same with a steel bodied Ohlins and the oil will be black, this is not my imagination or a wild accusation to discredit Ohlins it's an absolute fact based upon nearly 2 decades of shock servicing, the older steel bodied WP shocks do the same thing as do Wilbers/Hyperpro/Technoflex that have steel bodies, the worst shocks ever are Works which have a bare aluminium body.
