Trick Race Tech Shocks.

[Billet YZ]

Hi all,
         just thought i would post these up here as i`m sure some of you guys would and certainly could put them to good use. I just had a good look at these shocks at Roscoe`s Suspension in Ballarat and i must say it`s good to see build quality like this, my background is engineering and i appreciate how much machine time goes into making billet components like these shocks. Enjoy the pictures and i have also added the wording from Ross`s Facebook page.    Peter.

Check out these bad boys.
Custom built Race Tech G3-S shocks for our very own Henry Leathem's CR 390.
These are high end performance shocks with Gold Valve technology, precision engineering and the best set-up and back-up of any performance shock by far in Australia.
Henry had a set on his CR 500 Husky and it transformed that beast into a sweet handling, confident machine.
Even though his new bike came with a brand new set of shocks on it, he insisted on having a set of G3-S's on his new mount.
Keep an eye out for them at The Post Classic Nationals coming up in April.

From the Race Tech website....

I think with the exchange rate its best to get them from within Oz

Are these shocks made in the US? If so will they re-valve and/or re-spring them for free and pick up the freight both ways if you are not happy with the settings?

Wish other local shock suppliers would do the same.

Hi Ted,
           Yes these are made in the states as that is where Race Tech Head Office is based. The shocks in the photos are here in Victoria and have been supplied and set up by Roscoes Suspension in Ballarat for a Viper rider who swears by there quality and performance.

Yes Ross from Roscoes will continue at his cost to re-valve and re-spring his customers suspension until the customer is happy with the set up, not many will back their workmanship to that level. As for the freight being paid both ways  ??   i suggest you contact Ross yourself if your serious about getting your bike sorted. My personal opinion about your freight question is are you really serious or are you just taking the piss ?? your in business Ted and i already know what your short answer to that would be. 

I hope that answers your questions about the shocks and service, you will be pleasantly surprised with the service Ross will offer you if you take the time to ask.

Regards Peter.

They do John,
                      just have to ask. I thought you would have known what Ross offers in springs and valving. Remember you can only get a Honda to do so much, it`s not a Yamaha.

Thanks Peter. I only asked as i thought they were assembled overseas. It's good that Ross looks after his customers. I know plenty that buy from overseas only to find out they are not quite right and have no recourse. I am all for buying local. If my suspension guy ( who also offers that service ) suddenly falls off the face of the planet I would certainly get in touch with Ross.

Those shocks are destined for a real bike, not a horrid oriental, and no doubt will "stitch" up the opposition.

Go away Big K or i will tell everyone what really happened to your hand.

BigK, it's doesn't matter how good the suspension is on your Huskies if you can't start the thing....or keep it running when it does start.
