TS185ER shocks and what length??

[gerpster]

Trying to source decent shocks for the TS. Current ones are 335mm eye to eye and very shagged. Have spotted good Suzuki ones on evil bay but length is 375mm. Will they be too long or just right to get a bit more travel happening??

Hey walter question for you, you know the works shocks with the lines and resi can, can they be removed at the body and valve put in instead or do they then not work to to shorage of fluid/gas ?

i think ive put 350mm Konis on mine. i was looking at 360mm shocks but its kinda stretching it a bit. too long and the chain rubs on swing arm. 350 is what i would say the maximum that comforatably goes on. without mucking up other stuff too much and requireing modifications else where.

they look alright. i wish sellers would have more close up photos though. are they genuine redwing? what are the spring rates? would they be OK for a 70-75 KG rider?

Definitly REDWINGS as he sell a whole range including the hammerheads I have on my MX250

hey Freakshow, I’ve also wondered about this as I saw some ohlins and it looked like someone just took the reservoir off and put a valve in there. My answer would be no though (not a good idea). The reservoirs have either a piston or a bladder (im not sure on Works shocks) separating the gas from the oil. If you were to take the hose off and stick a valve in there I don’t think it would work properly as the gas will mix with the oil and aerate it. The emulsion shocks that are like this eg Fox gas shocks have different valving calibrated to work on this emulsion princible with nitrogenated oil.
