New type of Nitron shocks.

I am not sure if it was discussed before, but Nitron not long ago introduced new type of shocks - NTR Street.

It is a bit cheaper than Sport version, I am not sure what exactly the difference is though...

hhhmmm according to their blurb this and the sport are no longer hight adjustable.

i wonder if they still do one offs like mine.

So you're saying that you can adjust more than preload and compression/rebound? I thought length was 'decided' when they built the shock to your order?

I've just fitted a Nitron Sport shock on the Tuono last month. It is adjustable for preload, combined rebound/compression 24click adjustment and ride height. So far, so good, but other than the GM rideout, I've not used it.

As I understand it, the street version is preload only, but is set up to your specific needs.
ie. They shim the damping, set spring rate according to your bike, your weight, your riding style. Whether they add ride height to this list, I'm not sure.

i'm same as Haggis but i had them put a shorter body on mine to reduce the hight of the shock coz i'm a short arzzz.. lol at the time they charged no more than the standard price for making it custom to my requirements i also got a black spring at no extra charge.

Hmm cant get the street version for my bike but rather interested in the sport one which is a little cheaper than i thought they were. Just one thing though if you give pillion weight I assume they set it up as if your always carrying a pillion? So best to just say rider weight and adjust when taking a pillion?

I don't know much about suspension, can you tell?

That is how I understand it, so shock is set up for you and then you adjust it when you carry a pillion - if you can be bothered, of course

I just had Sport shock installed in my SV, have to investigate if length adjustment is there - but I don't think so. Bike is higher after install, which is not a problem but it would be perfect if it was the same as before.

Ach. The biggest thing with the SV shocks is getting the length right to sort the anti-squat out... on the curvy it needs a shedload of increase.

Veenee, does yours look like this?
The anodized blue ring is the comp/reb adjuster and the two locknuts below that adjust ride height.

You can only adjust height whilst its disconnected from your dogbone links of course! Slacken the locknuts first, disconnect shock, rotate lower end rosejoint (or fork on sv, ISTR) - up to lower ride, down to increase. Re-connect, tighten locknuts. HTH.
