    You again!
    Out to survey the WonderfulWorldOfBikes?
    Got yer statistical data engine sorted out to critically analyse the data?


    The VFR has a an Elka rear shock, and Showa front end (apart from the springs - they're Sonic). Next year I hope to get some GoldValves or similar in the front.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    I'm sorry to say that I have a fairly tired OEM shock on the 'bird. It would have had a new Penske on it by now but I ordered one from Shaun Harris and it never arrived due to all the pressures he's been under recently. Still, no major harm done and I'll import one directly before the weather warms up.

    where opinion holds more weight than fact.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    the rear shocks are red, they come in a box ,dont leak oil and have stopped the bouncing in the corners the old OME ones caused.
    The front?
    still bounce! leak oil, but new seals going in soon
    To be old and wise, first you must be young and stupid.

    I also forgot homemade solid struts. Just pick whatever you thinks closest Skunkman.

    You shouldn't be turning any of those screws on an OEM shock unless you have a university degree.

    Have OEM suspension on my bike which I have dialled in for spirited road riding.
    In fact, with them adjusted as they are, I have no issues when pushing hard. They do all I need them to do with comfort.
    If the destination is more important than the journey you aint a biker.
