Re: Aftermarket suspension- Andreani cartridges and Ohlin's shock

Dear All,

Has anyone fitted this kit:-

Some guys in the US have fitted the cartridges and reckon they are the mutts nutts, any thoughts before I part with £670 plus postage.

cheers

I'm pretty much going down this route on my MT-07 (except that I'm going to use a Nitron rear shock instead of the Ohlins) via Steve Jordan Motorcycles -http://www.stevejordanmotorcycles.co.uk/ - who know their stuff.

They do lots of MT-09 bikes and usually fit Ktech stuff I believe, which isn't available for the 07 - luckily in a way as it's twice the cost of the Andreani which they also said was good stuff.

Anyone done this yet, I'm currently searching for a suspension solution. I was thinking of going Ohlins front and rear but the Andreani cartridges and springs have good reviews and is about half the price of Ohlins cartridges. Anyone know the full cost including UK shipping and is there any import fee?

I sincerely hope you have better luck than me with getting hold of your Nitron shock. I've been waiting 7 weeks since ordering mine - disgusting customer service since I was originally promised two weeks for delivery by one of their staff members over the telephone. Last Thursday it was ready for 48hr delivery and it's still not arrived - yesterdays follow up call didn't seem to result in anything productive either.

did you buy from Omnia? did you go for cartridges?

My local suspension place in Bristol supplied and fitted both the Ohlins rear and the Andreani cartridges.

That's expensive for Andreani cartridges and ohlin shock as the ohlin rear shock can be had for £400 and £670 for fork cartridges that you have to fit yourself is very expensive,I've just had Andreani fork cartridges fitted to forks off the bike for much less from reactive suspension in York 01347 811529 or google reactive suspension in York,he's away till next Wednesday,you can post your forks many do.

What's expensive? That £670 is for the rear shock and the fork cartridges. It's not £670 for just the cartridges.

The total price is £770 for shock and cartridges from Omnia.

In the UK the Ohlins shock is about £400+ and the Andreani cartridges are about £480 which together is £880.

So that £770 from Omnia is actually a very good price.

Sorry. Deleted my post as you'd said it.

 

[Shaun64]

Sorry RipGrove I thought it was saying £670 for cartridges my mistake,yes £770 for them both is good.

Bgmotorsport were doing the ohlins at £395 a few weeks back.

Even then the Andreanis will still cost you £480ish so again Omnias bundle price is much cheaper.

BG say they're on back order from the factory til October, so if you want one quicker you need someone who's got stock.
