Koni rear shocks.?

[Big Dave]

Hi,
Can anybody tell me,
Are the koni adj rear shocks that people fit, better than the standard Sachs.?
Im not after a harder ride, just a bit more compliant , Do the konis adjust to a softer setting than the Sachs.?

Better? Who can say?!

Softer? Yes, they can be set that way.

I guess its a personal thing.
So im guessing there an improvement over the standard in the way they are adjustable.
Are they easy to adjust, ie the adjuster knobs accessable.?

 

[Claude]

Very easy to adjust, very accessible. I'm not sure how you'd measure their performance, though. Like you say, personal preference.

softer? think he meant harder :up:

i love mine being stiffer

but, Mark Fish recommends setting them to 50/50 and then go from there

Can anybody tell me the best place to get some of these Koni,s from.
By best im mean cheapest
Ive done the scouring of the internet, and got bored.....
Just wondered if anybody has purchased a set recently....

OR

Is selling a set.??

Larkspeed are often competitive, plus they offer decent warranty I think.
