    Very good shocks and are British made up near Banbury! That's an amazing price for what it is you could probably buy that and make a profit selling it on.

    Some of the TT teams use nitron so not shabby at all

    Well I was thinking of getting a new rear shock so bought one anyway, Just always cautious when something sounds too cheap !!

    That's a steal at that price, so rightly cautious but you will like it! Depending on your weight you might need to get spring changed but find out what weight it's sprung for you might be ok! If not a new spring won't be to much and you will still have saved 300-400 over what they originally cost

    That is a good price! bit strange though they have 7 cancelled orders.
    Wondering what they mean by saying it doesn't fit the ABS. Surely they don't mean the speed sensor but the ABS 'nappy'??

    Not sure on that one TBH as mine isn't ABS I wasn't bothered. I checked on another site and it was retailing at nearly a grand so seems incredibly cheap. We'll see when it turns up !

    Looking at the second picture in the listing , if that's of the actual shock it's got a forked end that's for up to 2008 I think , I've a 2004 bike and rather hoping that it is. Somebody please put me right if its otherwise.

    Will be having a run up to Jordan's to have a look tomorrow morning me thinks.

    I have run a Nitron Pro Race on my R6 race bike and it is superb, can't really fault it ot be honest with you. Ohlins and K-Tech all look nice, but you do pay for that. Doesn't stop me wanting an Ohlins TTX GP though!

    I agree with you I don't think it will fit my 08 blade, I never noticed on the second picture
    I went off the description , if it doesn't fit mine I will gladly sell it on at the same price
