Anyone on here used Penske?
 
http://www.penskeshocks.co.uk/motorc...racedamper.htm

Ive ordered me a shocker... Just wondered if anyone else has used them and what they think?

I got two weeks to wait for me RSV shocker to come YAY. :smt040

Yeap, good shocks.

They are up there with Ohlins, Elka, Nitron...

Seen a few around the BEMSEe paddock and I know a lot of the yank SV racers use them. Its no Elka though ;-)

Yep, ive got one. Seems good enough, service is good too by SPA in the UK. Upgradable, ie start at one model and change it at a later date, swap it between some bikes with little mods etc.

Cool. Cant have gone too far wrong... Not too cheap though for the 2 way at nearly £600.

Make sure you set it up though. Lot of people drop a lot of cash into their suspension and then never touch the settings! If I was you, I would also consider a fork revalve. Depends how the front end is setup for your weight etc. but it isn't expensive (using the stock components) and IMO be worth it sine you're addressing the rear

Aye I need the front sorting too. I think ill go for lighter oil and springs and see how that works. Though the front feels ok its not right as I have the preload completly off and only getting 30mm sag 25mm bike and 5 mm me. Which in contrast to the rear shock on atm which is almost full preload! :confused:

Ive done a lot of playing with suspension so i should be fine setting this up I think.

:D
