Shocky Lengths

Postby Scorps » Mon Jan 19, 2009 10:27 pm

Howdy Y'all,

Nice easy question for today - What are the stock shock lengths for:
1) KT250
2) RL250

And based on past experience, what are the best length shockies for these 2 bikes?

Cheers,
Your friendly neighbourhood Scorpa(Kawi)man,

The KT you rode at Brooweena had 340mm Falcon shocks, because I only have one set of 360mm Falcon shocks and they were on the OSSA. The KT steering is definitely better with the 360mm shocks than the 340mm.

Howdy Y'all,

Thanks for your help David. In discussions with a few different shocky suppliers, so you info is most handy.

I just got a price direct from Falcon UK for a pair of 340mm steel at 98 uk pounds + 50 pounds postage (90kg rider)and 240 quid for the alloy for my KT but after David's comment I will go for the 360mm
