    I'm looking to upgrade the suspension if anyone is selling an OHLINS, WP or Maxton GP7 unit. 14 st in gear. If you are thinking of selling your bike I can exchange the original parts.

    Thanks,

    Adam

    May i also recomend Bitubo Suspension, quite possibly the best out of the crate suspenders on the market today.

    Thanks, I'm not aware of them. I've also stumbled across Mupo, which seem to get good reviews.

    If I dont get a good deal used I will go to Maxton as they will set them up as well.

    Mupo are good, but aftersales are poor and struggling for spares.

    Bitubo are better than anything else on the market bar factory ohlins, i certainly wouldnt entertain ohlins over them given ive ridden on bikes shod with all the major suppliers offerings.

    Did you see the Ohlins forks and shock on ebay last week??

    1300 for the forks and 800 for the shock , both in good condition and both ended with no bids so may be re listed soon if not already

    The Swedish porn has arrived today, I'm going to get a stage one re-spring and valve at Kias in Manchester. Costs £295, Ohlin Fork 20mm cartridges are £425 so willl run with OEM legs.
