Our new website

Here it is, at long last.

https://blackandwhitebikes.co.uk/

Feel free to have a look and if you find any issues please let me know. I think there might be a problem using android phones with the’ suspension’ page in particular and we are looking into this.

Thanks for all the mentions.

Yes indeed, I'm happy to answer any questions about YSS shocks (as well as other brands too).

10% off K-tech - delivered direct

So K-tech are now doing drop shipping now which makes life a lot easier for shops like mine that are not really set up to do mail-order sales. So if you fancy a nice new DDS, Razor or TRDS shock then pop a message to me and I'll get one sent out to you with a 10% RTTL forum members discount. That co...

Re: Aftermarket shocks

No, they just list the Commander and the Rotary so I'll need the fitting sizes and length.

Re: Aftermarket shocks

Do you do kit for classics too? Eg Norton Featherbed?

I've done a few classic bikes, road and track. The best thing to do is let me know the top and bottom fittings and the length and we can work from there.

I'll check the latest fitment list too.

Re: Aftermarket shocks

There are many UK sellers of YSS shocks but only a few official service centres with access to all the fitting data. YSS is definitely a great ‘value for money’ option when replacing worn out OEM shocks (which can be toast after just 20000 or less) So I run Black & White Bikes which is, of cours...

Re: Snatchy throttles

Normally, they pay the money and ride off and then return 10 minutes later to thank me for completely changing their bike and making it so much nicer to ride. ... You could go with a postal flash... Any chance you can offer this for a 2018 Honda CB300R? I'm not interested in paying Power Commander ...

Re: Snatchy throttles

I've found that a major contribution to the 'snatchy throttle', as mentioned earlier, is the deceleration fuel cut that most modern Euro 4 and 5 bikes will have programmed into their ECU. Nowadays, rather than having people wanting their bikes flashed to get more power and to correct the fueling for...

Sorry fellas, it’s a busy time at the moment and I don’t get much time to check messages and stuff. But I can do really, really good deals on YSS shocks as well as being a K-tech and Nitron dealer. YSS is great quality to be honest it’s just as it’s assembled in Thailand they save on overheads when ...

Re: Hypothetical Track Bike Build - Hornet 600

So back in 2005 to 2008 I raced a Hornet at New Era. The class was regulated (not very well to be honest) and the engines had a 85bhp limit. Basically stock engines, stock air filters, stock headers and free choice of end can. Suspenders could be upgraded and so I had Ohlins in one bike and a Nitron...
