Rear Shock

Post by Miz »

Took the Raptor out for a play yesterday and judging by the puddles of oil I left whenever I parked it up I have blown a seal (no it was'nt fishy :shock: ) on the rear shock :( . Anyone got any suggestions as to what to go for as a replacement? Just looking for a reasonable shock, does'nt need to be too trick.

I think Stof put a Hagon on his at reasonable cost

I just put a Nitron sports shock on. Cost £350
Maybe a bit more than you may have wanted to pay. But it's made such a massive difference.

Hi, a hagon is about the cheapest option,about £295 as I remember,pretty good shock and fully rebuildable .

Have been looking at the Hagon website, can have the 'normal' shock for £255 inc VAT and delivery! and for an extra £125 they will add on a remote hydraulic pre-load adjuster.....

So I just need to decide which I need and which I want!!

If you're looking for a reasonable shock I would suggest blowing an electric eel ! :lol:
