this is what i thought with the last bike and put a gsxr1000 k8 shock on as it was short. although it was nice with lots of adjustment it is not a patch on the Nitron i have now. and yes the Nitron was built the same size as the last GSXR one. plus i haven't had to go hacking the plastics to get it to fit. for £50 the GSXR ones are excellent but make sure that you get a low millage one as they tend to be kaput after 20 odd thou.

Well we will see, maybe I will just keep to the standard one. lol.

I'm going to wait until I see the right one on fleebay.

Another thumbs up for Nitron here!

HOW MUCH!! lol.

I'll raid the penny jar I think...

BTW if you dont like it that tend to keep their value. ok so you might loose a few penny's but someone will buy it. but later on if you decide to get rid of the bike you can put the old one back on and sell the Nitron.

another thing its about £100 for a full rebuild/shim inc a spring if you eat more pies. if its just a service its about £70 door to door.

Its another £70 on top of the £350? :-S

[Bibio]

no! its £370 posted to your door all set up to your requirements. then later on when it starts to get older you can have it serviced for £70.

if you do go for one then phone them and the nice lady on the phone will probably put you threw to the tech department who will take a note of how you want it made. e.g. what kind of bike, how heavy you are (spring), what kind of riding you do (shim stack), what hight you are (body length). but its usually just what weight you are.
