    Default Bitten the Bullet - Wilbers

    Ok.....I have bitten the bullet and ordered the Wilbers 630/640 shocks, same as Martin, except mine are in black. Suspensions R Us are a very professional, highly recommended group that are centrally located in Melbourne. Total cost is not cheap at around $2400aud. The owner recommended the Wilbers over the Elka for a number of reasons, but the major one was the much larger dealer network for Wilbers here in Oz. Adjustable on the fly rear for pillion etc, and set up to best cater for our less than smooth roads and my 300lbs.

    Many thanks to Martin for taking the time to release his invaluable video on the Wilbers.

    Now to put on my "patient" hat and wait the 4 weeks for custom manufacture and delivery.
