shocking news
for assorted reasons that i will not be going into, I hope to have a couple of white spring shocks coming to me soon
One is described as in poor condition - and owes me postage
one is in fair condition and owes me 30 quid plus postage
I have seen neither!
I will be offering these to any in the UK who want them - for cost - ie postage and 30 quid plus postage for the other one (Remember I will have paid two lots of postage before anyone thinks I am trying to scalp them!)
I would budget for them to be rebuilt - there are a couple of places in the uk who will work on them - plan to spend 100 quid or there abouts

Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...
I've got a couple of spare shocks with those lovely sought-after blue springs on them. Blue is so much more of a pretty colour than white - you know you want them.
I'll let them go for only a little more than Paul's boring white ones. What's more I have a special deal that only charges for 3 lots of postage - and on the principle that "more is better" that has to be a good thing.
Just hope I can keep pace with the enquiries ......

Although I feel that Paul should be complimented on his generosity, I do feel that D-Rider's approach is more aligned to the general principle, held dear on this forum, of keeping Falcos standard. Next thing we know, someone will be offloading bodyparts on here, contrary to DR's excellent CAMOFF campaign.

Sorry - I don't seem to have received your pm - you'd better be quick or I may have to let them go to other people (once I've received their pms).szrdave wrote:I'll take one of those! I'll send a pm...
These blue springs may not hang around long

Lol @ D-Rider
I'm in SW London, I'm sure there must be somewhere around here although I could post it off if someone can recommend a decent place further away.

Where in the uk are you re shock refurbishing? You may have some where close by

Paul, there's a little-known app called "Google" (created by Pinkie and the Brain as they seem to want to ........ you know the rest)Aladinsaneuk wrote:contact details please Phil ?
It helps you find things like this.
I used it to find the place Phil was on about

http://www.ersracing.co.uk/index.php/about-us

Of course, if you don't want to use this "Google" thing - lest they do take over the world - there are plenty of other of these things we call "Search Engines" ..... such as the amusingly named Duck Duck Go
Duck Duck Go also managed to find ERS Racing

Ah .... there's a skill you can use to achieve both - it's called "Multitasking".
I too was drinking a nice cup of coffee while I was doing that.
You should learn this Multitasking thing - I use it all the time
