Manxton - The conversion costs £340.00, this includes fitting and machining the Maxton cartridges, machining new bushes and fitting springs to suit the riders weight and what they us ethe bike for

Reactive - Your forks can be modified internally with new springs, pistons and valving the cost would be £450

Is there something I'm missing here?

All I wanted to do at the front end this year was change springs in the forks - anyone know a likely source. Hyperpro and Ohlins have both said they don't do them for a 620??

If a rear shock is available at a sensible price then I'm interested.

Hagon said they would do there standard shock for the SS at around £250 and will custom build it (read lengthen) for a futher £45 when I spoke to them at the Ally Pally show

That's quite good innit.

I'm hoping I can get something close to that price, but Ohlins/Penske/WP quality... but it's none of those :lol:

That does seem a bit steep, but I'm going down that route again, I'm sure it's the best quality work there is ;)

I'll find out what I can do on the forks. I know a very good person who may be willing.

Out of interest, have you tried Big Al @ AJ Racing? He's a top geezer.

I've had lots of conflicting info on forks from various sources. Maxton seem to be the best informed, but could only offer complete new cartridges for £400+. :(

Having spent much of last year discussing the back end of my 900SL with many suspension specialists, the majority agreed that a well set up Showa unit was almost as good as an Ohlins as long as you didn't want ride height adjustment or increased overall length.

Personally I'm looking for about 10mm more overall length (stop s******ing...:lol: ), preferably with some ride height adjustment. The only way I can work out to do this is with a shock with a component shock-tube (ie: ohlins) which can be extended, rather a showa where the shock-tube is a moulded part of the unit. Harris have said they can extend an ohlins unit for an extra £50 but as I can't afford one in the first place it's fairly irrelevant!!

So any help you can offer Domski is definitely welcome. :D

Cheers,

Ali

I may give Derek at Hejira Racing Developments and see what he can offer, about 15 years ago he built a one off Spax shock for me for my Harris Magnum, it worked out about half the cost of the White Power one that Harris were selling.

Blimey!!! I intend to run the standard shock on my 620 - how much better is this than the early 600ss types? Gonna stiffen up the front end with some no-motion lotion and get some ride height installled and bob's your doodar!!!

Hadn't really thought about swapping the rear shock, if its cheap enough I might consider it, but I've already spent too much on this thing!!!

I've got servant's wages to consider, I might have to offload one of the kitchen staff - these soux chefs don't come cheap you know!!! ;)

A minimum of 8 years better....

Mr Hackett is about to take a hammer and chisel to a set of 620m forks.

Lord Rattler,

I'm beginning to think you may not have staff at all.........

...........it's 'sous-chef' not 'soux chef' !
