Has anyone used this brand, I have heard very little about them but found this rear shock which looks good value for money... FTR suspension are distributing them in the UK I believe. Yacugar - Suspension - discover new horizons Honda CBR 1000 RR 08-11 - Motorcycle suspension products - Fork springs, shocks, fork kits, spares etc £695 + vat What do you think
They obviously aint worth worrying about if there so unknown will stick with ohlins or ktec at least you know what you are getting
If it is anything like trying to get hold of Ohlins parts then you could be buying trouble. I have never heard of them before.
Personally, for me, it has to be a known, reputable brand. Ohline, Nitron, Maxton, Hyper-Pro and I'd maybe fit a Wilburs if it were cheap. How much is a road/race Maxton or Nitron? I think they are in a similar price range.
Bitubo, Ktec, Ohlins or Factory Showa all the way for a Blade. I lurrrrrrve My Bitubo front/Showa rear set up on the current steed and the Ktec/Ohlins on my rr10 was immense.
Ohlins for me or K-Tech, NEVER had any problems getting spares for any of the Ohlins, K tech or Maxton stuff I look after here, as for my Ohlins I have two pairs of R&T forks and two TTX36 shocks both get serviced and valved when I feel they need it and all the parts for both are on the shelf at HM or any good qual Ohlins service centre.. For me I would have to say I love my Ohlins for many reasons one is the spares and tune side as they are so easy to work with the joy of cartridge forks, my blade has full spec superbike forks with no top out springs and superbike valves setup for me and fast road and track use same as my X Stobart TTX HO606 thats just soooooo plush its untrue! Love it Front Rear
lol Yes mate.. but things do change and had we been a few months back you would not get this:- FGRT200 - Öhlins The all new R&T forks from Ohlins and the not so new TTX Mk2
Ohhhhh there you go again ! TTX rear shock and those R+T front forks would look so sweet on my bike and some brembo calipers to top it all off ! mission complete as the yanks say !
A mates just ordered them both for his 1199 ABS so will post some results in a couple of months time, reb is now on one leg and comp on the other so all adjustments are at the top.. anyway yes some Brembos too hey...why the hell not sir.....lol
Talking of forks etc made this today after near taking my head off with my spring compressor tool for forks....lol Next fork service should be easy on my own rather than needing to find someone to hold the tool all the time.. I give you the fork spring compresor....lol Only had blue paint...
Now that looks nice, I wont pretend I know how it works apart from compressing the springs for you, but I can appreciate top quality workmanship when I see it
