Nitron Shock, Money well spent. - SV650.org

chirpy999 · 24-10-10, 01:39 PM

I bought a Nitron sport shock and fitted it my 2005 S . After a 60 or so mile test ride i thought id tell you about how it has transformed the bike.

Now I have damping at the rear and the bike feels so much better in the bends , you feel like you can lean her into them now.

Roll on spring time and some nice warm weather .

Good aren't they. Exactly what I have got on my bike.

How many miles on the old shock ?

24-10-10, 03:51 PM

I have a brand new original shock with 0 miles. I got it changed when the bike was new. I had an SV before so I wanted something better.

I would love to fit a Nitron shock , but hard to justify spending 350 + fitting on a bike worth a grand ?

Depends if you plan on keeping it or getting shot of it?

Ah, but when you come to sell the bike, you take it off and it's still worth £350

So you gets your dough back

Trouble is my bike is high mileage and I would rather put the extra cash towards another bike , totally agree if you are planning to keep a while or if its a newer bike

It is lovely, and the difference between Nitron and Stock is night and day.
