Xtra rear shock

[Adam]

I need a new rear shock for my Xtra Rap. Anyone know any suppliers? Does the Xtra use the same shock as a V?

Thanks

[Miz]

Hiya,

I believe the shock is the same for each, although the Xtra has a remote resevoir fitted.

Below are the details of my search for a shock earlier

Hiya,

I fitted a Hagon shock last weekend, thought their reply was a good indication of what their customer service would be, I ordered the shock at lunchtime and it was delivered next day...


Hope this helps..

That's just what I need. Thanks very much

[Adam]

Just phoned them and found them unhelpful They state the shocks are not the same and want to see the bike, blah, blah.

[Adam]

Same story from Wilbers, Hyperpro, Nitron and spoken with 3X, Forza, and Bains (who tried hard but couldn't give an answer)

Anyone else had the rebound damping go off on their Xtra?

[midi]

Just send the shock to maxton or k-tec. They will not only sort it out but also make it better and tailor it to suit you.

[Adam]

Maxton have a huge turn around time (even though I know someone who has contacts) and K-Tec refurbed a shock on one of my bikes and shortly after I replaced it with a custom built AST

[Adam]

Finally spoke to the 'can do' man at Hagons after waiting 2 weeks for Mr 'can't be arsed' to phone back He told me he could assemble a shock the same day and true enough, it was delivered the next. Moral of the story is, don't deal with the dude with the cockney accent
After I had fitted an AST shock to one of my Buells, I realised how crap the shock on my Xtra had become and decided to replace it. The handling has improved a huge ammount but it's no where the quality item that AST build, although to be fair, it's half the price.

[Adam]

Wot with it being a damp day, I took the Buell shock that K-Tech refurbed apart to find out why it was crap. They must've thought it was an air shock, coz there was no oil to be found, in fact, as dry as a witches tit

the shock off a xtra is longer than the shock on a v

Well, the Hagon one (as fitted to the V)is exactly the same length.
