just to clarify a little on my new shock. i was wrong that they cut the spring. it was an option but it never happened. what they have done is to use a shorter body to reduce the hight. i will also admit that this is my second one from them as the person who assembled the shock made a standard hight one. i was on the phone the same day, they sent out a courier the next day (friday) and my new shock at the correct hight was back in my hands on tuesday. i'm still not whole heartedly convinced that there is enough stroke in the rod but only time will tell.

i have not used my new shock yet and this will not happen till i put the bike on the road sometime in march-april. this leaves me unable to comment on how good/bad the shock really is. but so far i'm sorta impressed with their customer service. to be fair i had a custom shock made for my requirements at the same price as a standard shock.

yes it may be an emulsion type shock with a gas charged bladder that might be useless for track days but i dont do track days. another thing is their servicing charges are very reasonable as i enquired about this at the time i got my shock for a full service with change of spring (if you have lost or gained a few pounds) plus damper rod comes out at around £120 all in i think the basic oil/gas/seals service is £70, i think its only a cppl £ more for them to fiddle with the shims at the same time.
