Rear Shock colours...

Are shock colours down to the make they are?

[Bluepete]

When I get a shock, it's usually brown!

Stu, not always unless aftermarket. Most Ohlins have a yellow spring (I have seen some with black springs) and gold anodised body, Maxton a purple spring and a silver anodised body, WP come in all manner of body colour but white springs etc.

WP is the one I am thinking of. Thanks Loz you answered my next question lol.

Hagon is red and my new Bitubo is red.

Ohlins - Gold & yellow
WP - White & Silver
Hyper Pro - Purple

i think the SV shocks come from Xmas crackers left over after the Suzuki Xmas dinner.
