Ill be wanting a rear shock with a little a bit of damping!
Also maybe a second front fork spring, fork brace and any other aftermarket bits,
Also i want to make the rear end like the jap market bikes with the built in indicators and taillight.
Iv got spare fairings though!

You have a braced arm already fletch! But the shock does look nice, mine had an ohlins on it at one point in its life but that was removed before i got it!

Thats a real shame the ohlins got removed Sad

My swinger is a standard arm with the Team Calamari bracing fitted, has also been lengthened about 100mm, would love a proper braced arm as some of the welding on mine looks like it was done by a blind man Laughing

With a friend we are working on a real rear shock for YSR, we try to have something for March or April.

Did someone could be interesting ?

It would be hydrolique rear shock. I said we tried to ... it's not realise at the moment ... Rolling Eyes

Hi guys
So it seems that we manage to realise the shock ... We just need to find the good spring
Then it will be good, the price would be about 300 euros + shipping
I think it would be available during the winter
The first série willl be able to build 10 pieces and if if there is more demand , we could build ten more , then we will be able to build ten shocks by ten shoks

Tell me if you are really interesting in those shocks

I could tell you the technical specs by the end of the week

See you guys

Hi i really dont mean to sound rude or impolite but i would be very unlikely to pay that much for an unknown shock with unknown results and not being sure how it would perform or last, especially when i could get one for similar money from a well established ysr specialist,
Dont get me wrong i think its great people are catering for these cracking little bikes but 300 euros for something i dont know the history, performance or longetivity of is a bit steep for me,
Again i dont mean to be bleak but what if it only lasts a month before the damping goes? Or if i have a failure and the bike spits me off?
Do you have a returns policy, is the shock tested to any standards?

Hi

Of course you're right, the shock will be tested before any sale

The builder will give me every specs as soon as possible

I'll have the specs in french language so it will need a good translation
Then i really think that those shocks will be good ... The builder is a professional so we could be sure of the work .... I will makd the first test as soon as possible

My question about the price is to have an idea about what a ysr rider is ready to put in a real rear shok wich will be available for different weight of rider ... Not only a kid about 50 kgs max ...

I will give more informatilns as soon as possible

Thanks for all questions or idea or critics .... Every comment are important to know what to do for our gag bikes

See you

Well I'm about 16 stone and well over 6 foot so having a GAG is more about having a laugh ! If a good shock can be available to carry me then I will be interested - but it needs to be really really really good if its at 300 euros Wink
