I may be wrong, but I think they were originally the EMC shocks, either the bottom or mid range ones. That side of the company was driven by Mike Capon who I last saw on the SP Racing stand at the Ally Pally a few years ago. I had them custom build one of there top of the range ones for my FJ1200 that I had put a single sided arm in.
M&P were selling Q-Tec in 98/99 when they then cost £215 Non pressurised shock a bit like a lot of the Spax shocks.
They concentrated a lot on matching the ratio of the rebound damping adjustment to the compression damping

A wealth of info skidlids!
I'll see what its like when I get it... only cost me £50

I see EMC shocks are still available

How similar is the one you got to these.

In 1994 I fitted an EMC shock to my VFR750. It really improved the handling no end - well worth the money I paid. I'd buy another if I needed to.

Just got it in the post this morning. I'm very happy with the build quality and it seems a quality item. the ally bits shine no-end! Just got to get it fitted now...

WOW - that looks nice and almost brand new....

No ride height adjustment though :(

Oi! it is brand new, albeit probably a couple of years old...

Not really looking forward to fitting it... looks like more than a 1 man job...
Anyone ever done this on the Ducati? Ive changed the whole back end on my rgv on my own before...
