someone pointed me in this direction as I'm looking for a shorter shock for the PeggySue
I just wondered if anyone has used them for their Aprilia

Never heard of them but spec is not very exciting.

One knob to adjust compression and rebound damping AT THE SAME TIME ....

No ride height adjustment .....

My feeling is that this is something down at the bargain basement end (though at £350 maybe not such a bargain as you can probably get a mille ohlins and get it fully serviced for that)

You can do a LOT better for that kind of money

Have a look at maxton for a start

But do those others do a lower height shock?

Look on the m and p website to lower the bike

WS 20001 ride lowering kit

Fit scooter wheels - that should do the trick

ferzakkly K, my current shock is squoze as tight as it can be to allow me to not fall off at junctions

So do Maxton make a shorter shock? Does anybody?

BMW lowering (funduro) kit is a lot more bits, includes the side and centre stand and lowers the whole caboodle but costs £250(ish) and no new shock.

M&P ? do people still buy from there? I thought they'd burned down

Hagon do 'special' shock builds so may be worth giving them a bell to see what they can do
IMHO I dont think I'd part with 350 beer tokens for a fairly unknown low spec shock
Some more research could be usefull
As Aladin said, look at m and p !

Maxton quoted £405.00 plus VAT 2 years ago (for the Futura - guess Falco et al would be similar price?(
