Honda sp2 shock Upgrade?

Post by roadrash »

Scouting Ebay as many of us do and saw a honda SP2 shock advertised as an upgrade for an NC30 ?
Is this right?
If so has anyone done it and what was the outcome.
Shock solutions for the XL male would be appreciated. I am looking to buy but dont want my pants pulled down by the price say £200 ish

Bugger it
height 6 foot
weight 17 stone
I know you pity my bike and probably me for cramming on but they are just so much fun.

I would appreciate honesty if £200 aint going to do it I will wait, I want the right solution.

i wouldn't waste £200 on it and i'd put an extra £100 or so to it and ring rick oliver

brand new nitron road shock with a spring suited to a porkpie eater anf ready to bolt in and set up,plus you won't have to mess about with battery boxes and all that crap like you will if you try and make an sp one fit

Royster is spot on. The SP1 shocks are too long and cause grief with the external res on top of them.

no bother R/R...i just wouldn't want someone wasting £200 when i know rick can do the business with his contacts plus it keeps him going so he can develop more parts

the other thing you could try ,and i don't know what budget it would come under, is the rs250 shock mod,mark could tell you more about it than i could as i think i'm right in saying he has it done to #9 ....
