New Shocks!

[Bill Stevenson]

At 31,000 miles my shocks were getting tired. I read all the correspondence here and decided to go with Ted Porter. He has a wealth of knowledge and after a lengthy telephone conversation, wherein he asked a lot of questions to get a fix on how I ride most of the time, he made a recommendation. The shocks arrived in due course and I installed them with the help of a friend the weekend before last. Installation was straight forward and took about 2.5 hours total including clean up. I could not be happier with the result, better than new.

I ordered the Yacugars from Ted -- still waiting but very excited -- I'm lowering 3/4".

Ted did mine.





Big difference in stability and performance.

I've just had wilbers weas units fitted front and rear, it's a much better ride now.

What was the damage for the shocks? My r1100r has 60K miles on original shocks.

[Bill Stevenson]

About $1,600.00 US when all was said and done. I installed them myself so add a couple of hundred to that if you have them installed by someone else. Money well spent.

Still waiting on mine, but I wonder if you could post any installation tips...

[Bill Stevenson]

Yes, when your shocks arrive call Ted Porter and he will talk you through it. Piece of cake.

Yeah pretty much what I was planning to do thanks
