I agree that the stock shocks when tired are probably best replaced, but I just want to make sure that people are not buying race shocks because they think that the ZX conversion doesn't work (as some would have us believe  ). I have put video evidence down to PROVE it DOES WORKadn it works very well ... I'd say that fact is indisputable really and I'll defend the ZX conversion to my dying breath!!!
With this fact in the back of peoples minds, it's then down to peoples own cost-benefit and usage analysis!!  |
Seems you've gotten me completely wrong. Yes I like my bike to look good, and yes I confess I have a Nitron shocker fitted. Thing is I like my bike to handle well, and the fact it's so clean is only cos I take good care of it.
I had a 636 shock for a while and it did the job FAR superior to the standard SV shock. I liked it, and it gave me the confidence to get my knee down and what have you last year. Thing is,my riding improved and I was fortunate and came into money and I thought why not get a shock that's meant for the job?
Thing is, the 636 was pretty damn good, but my Nitron is awesome. That's the difference IMO. The Nitron feels more planted to me, and I like it. Suppose that's only thing that matters though really, personal preference.
I made my bike (well stilll yet to complete it) into what I wanted (and knew it could) be. Performance mods are minimal on my bike, suspension mods have been a major cost.
