Or look at other options, dare I say it, other then Ohlins...(shock horror, stands back)
I agree fulfilled wilbers and hyperpro make nice £400 ish shocks which are as good ride & build quality but you can not adjust the preload when the shock is fitted where as you can with the ohlins,I've gone with a k- tech razor R rear shock it's more expensive but has much more adjustment,chump if the the ohlins is not available till October it will give you a bit more time to save up for a better shock.Or look at other options, dare I say it, other then Ohlins...(shock horror, stands back)
It took 9 weeks to get my Nitron shock NTR R2, original estimate was 2-3 weeks lol. I do love it thoughI 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.

I went to see them, initially. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Seemed to push the Ohlins/Andreani route a tad more so, but that wasn't why I went elsewhere in the end....Steve Jordan...
I guess these have gone up - 971 Euro now, which is ~762 quid! That's a LOT of inflationDear 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

Hey ATOMIC, did you order? I had a play on their website but couldn't see how to get the non-VAT amount in the shopping cart.I think that you have to pay 795.96EUR outside EU (no VAT)
Since i am about to order this Andreani catridges from them, how to be sure that i will get right springs for my weight? I will send them note for 0.85 rate.I know that they usually send 0.78 springs (i need 0.85), does springs have some marks on it for specific rate? In case they send wrong rate?
Thanks
I noticed a massive improvement in slow sharp bumpy corners with the Andreani's so you'll be fine there too! Also I agree about the front brake, it feels so much more powerful now as you can pull the lever harder as the front end doesn't dive anywhere near as much as it used to.Catridges arrived few days ago and today went to Ohlins service point Lutec racing to mount them on the bike. Springs rate marks were on side of the each spring as i requested (8.3) . So far within 20 miles driving home i can say that i have new front brake without front end diving and the bike is much more stable at speed of 110mph in long curves on the highway than it was before. Certainly still need to test short and sharp turns and bumpy road, but this is certainly a major upgrade compared to the stock setup.
At service shop they told me that they went with 19 cSt oil in R leg and thiner oil (not sure 14 cSt ?? ) in C leg to reduce harshness due to high speed bumps.
Anyway so far so good
