    The other option is to update it to the newer Showa shock but obviously not as good as Ohlins or Ktech.

    A couple of BSB teams use them so they must be decent. I know a few club racers that use them, not heard anything bad about them.

    Have seen their logo in Kiyo's leathers. Doesn't mean they are any good, but they advertise on an expensive part of the leathers.

    juat looked on the web site and the shock in pounds is £780 minus delivery!! If you were lucky enough to get the shock delivered without taxes and just a postage charge, I'm guessing you'll be paying £810ish.

    I contacted them from ebay and asked for a cash deal, I paid $900 delivered, I think it works out £591 to the door and no taxes no tricks :)

    He also told me they usualy retail at $1529

    Have to agree with red5, Rip Off Britain. Have had lots of parts from the USA over the years for different bikes - so much cheaper.:confused:
