Ohlins is nice. May be a dream, but it's still nice Hagon also comes to mind

Tony.mon uses a Hagon shock IIRC, although I think the Nitron has a nicer finish to it, but of course Tony may say different

I was behind a Hagon shod bike when it let go dumping its oil everywhere. May have been a one off but I've never been a fan of them anyway, dunno why really. I'd definately have an OE Showa over a Hagon.

I can reccomendation te Nitron street shock. If you find my thread in the pimp my ride section you will see photos of it

I still have the White Power shock. I rode the bike before i stripped it off. It seems fine, the bike had been used on the track by some one who took it seriously. Judging by the Maxton modded forks, Harris rear sets, racetec tyres etc.

I was looking for £200 but i am open tgo offers

To be fair Lee it was under a fair bit of provocation !!!!

That would be ABuses, Chris.

It's ok for the price, the finish isn't all that but I hid it under a shock sock, as it's not exactly WPnis envy material. But with a remote res it was cheap enough, and doesn't slow me down much.
But it could do with a refurb, £100, they quote.

Mine's getting a Maxton, in the (pardon the pun), spring.

Good question ......

Basically i brought a VTR with a massive amount of trick bits on it. Most of it on my "for sale" post came off it. I kept the high level art carbon cans though for another project. I stripped it all off and fitted back to standard, it came with some standard bits as well. Other standard bits came via here and from ebay

Why?

The sales of the trick bits covered the cost of returning it to standard and the service etc., and i still have loads left.. I have a bike to ride which is still tidy for the year and earned a set of cans in the process... not easy money believe me though. The bike will be up for sale in the spring and i should have no problem selling it for the price i got it for.

As i say though, not the easiest way to go cost neutral biking
