REPLACEMENT SHOCKS

[Tony Nitrous]

I think the originals (in good condition) are easily and equal to many of the
less expensive aftermarket ones.

Plenty of upgrades if you have the $$$'s though.

Don't be fooled into thinking the factory Ohlins fitted to the XJR are "real" Ohlins
and they certainly not worth putting on a GSX.

Exactly, so on this time OEM Showa shocks are for me good option. I want to test Hagon, Wilbers or Ohlins on the track and see are they much better. On the road i think there wont be a lot of diferences.
I know that the XJR Ohlins aren't as good as aftermarket Ohlins for our gixx. But has anyone fitted CB1300 Showa shocks to gixx ?

where i live, 400 bucks to overhaul original showa, my choice. different spring can be fitted. hyperpro, wilbers. mine work fine. i dont know what improvement others would make, i dont have any problem. if i was to change, nitron would be choice. 1100 bucks, fully set to me, not just off shelf. my forks were much improved by suspension shop, wilbers springs n oil. set to me. my last post on shockies,

Hey,

Bought my bike with these already fitted to it: http://www.brooksuspension.co.uk/suzuki-gsx1400-yss-twin-shock-absorbers-01-21.html

Can't compare them against standard as I've never used OEM.
