Better shocks

[steven888]

Anyone know of any other shocks for the spyder besides the elkas and the penske? They are way overpriced. Need something better than the cheap stock ones.

Those are the only two I heard about.

some of us are trying to get the Progressive Suspension folks interested. This thread will let you add your name to the list of those interested.

Someone just posted about "Icon" shocks in Australia. And, I've been trying to get Progressive Suspension in the fray... with no luck, to date.

I got this response from Progressive Suspension when I sent an e-mail to them about the Spyder. I sent the e-mail mid July nothing yet I am going to send a follow up.:spyder:

The following is a reply I received from Ikon Suspension in response to an enquirery I made.
You have heard correctly. We have only just completed some work with a local rider which has lead to the completion of front and rear shocks that have given a very pleasing result. The shocks have upgraded progressive rate springs and screw thread pre-load adjustment. Both are rebuildable and the front also have a 4 position rebound adjustment. The prices are AUD$800.00 a pair on the front and AUD$950.00 on the rear plus shipping.
Hope that helps
Bob

At todays exchange rate thats $68154 for the fronts and 809.23 for the rear;)
