Have sold and serviced them for about 3 years now, from the road sport shocks to the Pro race. Very good with very good backup.

Can do 10% discount to Org members.

Postage is £8.70 with Parcelforce..sadly I cant swallow the postage unless its on the track or race shock.

I can though do a special service rate on shocks purchased from us for future use.

Ooo so shiny...

The real question is:

Will someone of my riding experience/calibre notice enough difference to justify the price tag?
If its bike specific, I assume I cant fit to another bike if I upgrade?
If I fit something like this, will it show up the front end with just springs done?

Yes you will feel a difference, you dont have to be a riding expert to feel the difference or benefit from it. It will if anything help give you better confidence.

Bike specific yes all shocks are as they are not only valved and sprung for the bikes linkage ratio, weight, speed and swingarm length but they also have specific fittings. Not to worry though as wheh you sell the bike used aftermarket shocks sell very well and retain minium 50%-75% of their new cost.

No it will be fine with the forks now you have fitted the springs.
