Hi,
Richard (Gromit) has one fitted to his Blackbird and I believe he is well pleased with it and the service he recieved from Nitron.

I have one on the back along with a hagon front and am more than happy with both, went for the standard shoc's, nothing fancy i upped the preload a touch and upped the damping two clicks from the factory setting works fine two up with no change to the settings

Buy one worth every penny Dai

Well i went for the bog standard shoc's and am more than happy, in all honesty i don't think i could have fitted anything better, bearing in mind the fact that if you get fancy shoc's you will need to get them set up profesionally to get the best out of them then the settings will need changing when you have a pillion or luggage mine stay the same wether i have a pillion, luggage, both, or am solo, they work and work well.

It's up to you of course but i don't feel it nessacerry to have loads of settings and gadgets that i wont use, the more setting's you have the bigger chance you have of cocking it up i want to get on the bike and go if Ann wants to come with me she can climb on the back and we go i don't have to adjust anything

Before anyone say's i ride like a pussy ask those that have seen my bike no chicken strips on the back and past the tread pattern on the front centre stand ground away both sides, did i mention it's raised over a standard bike as well.

Save your money get the standard Hagon or Nitron [Nitron don't do a front] shock's and with the money you save get a pair of rocket sprockets!

That explains why you were a bit furtive with that price of sandpaper when you were down for the S/West bash

I'll get my coat I think. [smilie=sofa.gif]

I've got wilbers on mine and think its brilliant but I've never ridden an S on standard suspension. It's not the top model shocks but the are adjustable at the bottom with rebound and compression on the same adjuster.

Suits me as you just twist it a few clicks either way depending on what you're doing.

Tend to agree with you Dai but some people like the bells and whistles but you've sold it to me - due a new shock next year I think. Got a y piece and techlusion. Just need the induct and sprockets
