Rear suspension units
I'm speaking to a leading suspension company, and trying to sort out a deal for you guys as well. I haven't spoken to Chris B, about this, but I'm after a freebie or greatly reduced one, but want them to offer big discount to the other Desmo Due riders.

Hope that's OK with everyone

If the rear shocks are free, can I have one?

On a more serious note, I have talking to a number of suspension "specialists" on this very subject. It seems £1k ish will get the front sorted and a new rear shock - so thats not going to happen this year for me.

Next point of call was Hyperpro who do spring kits front and rear for less than £200 - excellent - except they don't have one for a 620 Monster - not excellent.

So if you can do anything to bring down the "specialist" prices Mr Domskidue that gets my support.

Free, greatly reduced ... my favourite words ...

I'm interested but I'm about to pull the trigger on getting the suspension sorted for my 620 monnie so when do you reckon you'll know Dom?

£1000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are having a laugh?!?!?!?!?!

What sort of specialists have you been talking to

Forks should be less than £250 as there isn't a great deal you can do with them (short of changing oil & springs)

Ohlins rear shocks (who I'm not talking to) can be had for under £400 (If you ask a shop keeper nicely).

I'm glad I was sitting down when you said that

Was hoping to know any minute now, but it looks like my 'contact' has gone home for the day

Should know this week.

Would be good to get a show of hands of those interested, and then I can tell them that there are customers waiting... At the right price of course

Don't panic, it's not Joe Bloggs suspension, this is top tackle
