Shock factory experience?

[BBB]

Hi,
Looking to replace the elderly shock on a speed triple 1050. YSS seem to be getting good reviews for the price but have also been looking at shock factory M-shocks which are sprung and valved for your weight.

Anyone have experience of shock factory?

Thanks

No but quite happy with the YSS I bought.

YSS shocks are made to order, they ask how much you weigh and how fast you ride when you order the shock

Yeah, isn't he the fella in france ? Good service from him though

I've not used them, but when I broke down in France in the summer I was bailed out by a superb little independent dealer near Grenoble. He recommended Shock Factory to me. Seemed to know the guy who runs it, and mentioned how he's a Brit who originally was based in Lyon but found the people down there to be too dishonest, so he relocated. That made me assume he's a good 'un.

We have someone on here who sells YSS at a good price don't we?

They are defo on my list to look at when I do the GSXS.

Do we know who? Would be handy to have someone to ask with general queries about the yss shock.

@Sideshow Pob is yer man. Very helpful and knowledgeable when I was enquiring about alternative spring rates for the YSS shock on my 350LC

Mango is correct, it's @Sideshow Pob See below from another thread.

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 course, an official YSS service centre and I can usually beat any price out there on the internet. Give me a call on 01507 588149 or send me a PM and I’ll see what I can do for you.

Although there is a huge fitting list, I’m usually caught out when I say this and someone always comes up with an old bike that I can’t find a shock for, but it is rare.

And it really is good quality stuff and there are also fork upgrades and steering dampers in the catalog.

Cheers, Paul.

Oh, and if all else fails I can also supply K-tech, Nitron, Ohlins, Matris too!

Thanks for all the mentions.

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

Many, many years ago I went to Maxton. They were in on old church. I watched them machining shock bodies, it was very interesting.

There was a bloke having his GSXR1100 setup. That's when I decided I wanted one. It only took 20 years.
