was thinking of holding the rear end up on my 1975 TS185 with them or am I wasting my time and money/ not raceing just commuting, as they are only around $100 smackers and they say ISO 9001 compliant ???
cheers

thanks Andrew
how times have changed! I remember as a kid no money all the oil and dampening gone we would drill a hole in the shocker body tap a thread poor motor oil in (probably old sump oil) put in a bolt and away we'd go,
auto chain and pants oiler :o ;D but it worked

ISO 9001 only means that they have a documented set of procedures for running the business. It has no bearing on the quality or suitability of the end product or service.

thanks Fred, well we know hes doing his paper work correctly ;D cheers

only if he is audited and qualified - ISO numbers get thrown around SEA a lot!!!!!!

Those shocks have under 50 mm of shaft travel...

Must be different to the ones I got mine have 110mm travel and they were cheap enough to take a punt on especially on a $350 dollar bike made up of left over bits.

This will be a great source of comfort for me when I'm performing a triple backflip or hitting a 2m high log at a bazillion km/h on a TS185ER ;D.
I had some similar cheapo shocks (not JBS) on my PE175 for a while and they weren't too bad though I did eventually bend the shaft on one of them. These JBS thingies would probably be ok for trailies such as my DT125 though...

Yep always looking to save a buck so it can be spent on more bike bits elsewhere, and yer the shocks will = the amount I paid for the bike ATM, ;D

That sounds better than the ones I looked at. Have you a model number or description? I paid over a grand for some Racetech shocks and am underwhelmed...

Bought these for my bike, we'll see how they go and report.

Jeez Cyclegod thays are might fancy rear end holder upperators ya got there
Hey Andrew they almost look like the stock item :o ;D :D :) ;)

I got 2 sets of used ohlins shocks each for around 250 shipped from US. Most of ohlins, fox, works performance can be rebuild,tuned and parts are available. Shims, seals,o-rings etc. Buying cheap shocks will not save you money since you will have to replace them when they break and that will cost you more money. Great about ohlins shocks is that you can adapt bodies and shafts to suit your bike. All you need is a lathe. Its soo easy :)

They look and fit the same as the Honda ones except these have oil in them and the originals don't , even down to the shape of the plastic spring guide.
