Shock absorber dead

[Oregszun]

Hello Guys,

just left to Scotlan from Hungary and on the first day my rear shock absorber fell apart. We fixed it in Austria with a help of KTM guy (welded together).


Now looking for a new one, saw ?hlins, hyperpro and YSS.

?hlins is superexpensive. What about the Hyperpro and the YSS?

We arrive to Bognor Regis on Tue evening, and stay ther until Fri early afternoon, then heading to Gretna Green.

Do you know some motorbike service near Bognor where the shock can be replaced?

As you say, ohlins etc.are expensive.

Most people upgrading from the standard oem shock go to a Wilbers or Hagon. Getting hold of a replacement at short notice will be difficult or expensive.

I have a Wilbers that has been waiting to be fitted to, my XL1000 for a while now.

If you can make it to Aberdeen and are willing to help we can remove the oem shock from my bike and fit it to yours.

Hi,

On the other hand,.my Dero burning engine oil, I need to refill. I was looking for castrol power 1 10w40 in Bognor but without any succes.

Next stop is Carlisle, do you know any shops to get Castrol?
