Hi all
Apart from fitting aftermarket shocks, are there other Honda shocks that fit the storm as a direct replacement and would improve the butt end
Rob
Shock change
Afraid not
I did have a R1 shock fitted for a bit of a try out but it was under damped for the weight of spring you need a few people have used blackbird and vfr ones but similar thing there not really set up for the storme so would need revalving and a new spring to suit and when you have spent the cash on that you could have gone for say a hargon or similar and got a better result
You’ll probably be better off fitting a new spring to the standard shock more suited to your weight from the likes of Maxton
Sorting the front end has a big impact on handling as the springs are a bit soft new spring will run you about £60 or so
