Quality Shock Absorbers

#1 PostAuthor: Fred the Zed » Mon Feb 11, 2013 7:32 pm

Hi

I recently had cause to meet up with a true gentleman named John Davies who specialises is building Post-classic H***a racers (in case you are wondering why I was fraternising with the enemy, I now have a set of Keihin CR 29mm Carbs all boxed up and waiting to adorn the Shed).

John is a cracking fella, ex-TT Racer etc etc. He custom builds shock absorbers for his classic racers and is 100% confident that he can build shocks for Z1/Z900/Z1000/Z1R etc to customer specs.

His shocks are ultra light and having inspected them close up the build quality is A1 - proper full on engineering porn. With a set of custom made shocks with less adjustment from Maxton retailing at a minimum of £520, Johns shocks retail at a very reasonable £360 all in.

You can check them out at http://www.daviesmotorsport.com/hondasuspension.html

I'm sure if a few were interested, an even better deal could be on the cards. Davies Motorsport are based in South Derbyshire.

They look great, and its good to know that a guy is out there to help you with what you want rather than just sell you what he, s got.
Kept on file, cheers.
