jihem Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Dear all,Happy new year all !I got tired of my griso 8v: too heavy and too thirsty in town. Got a great deal for a part-swap part-cash on a brand new V7 stone and I must say the small bike is lovely: so light, a big bicycle really. It's a real pleasure and as I'm doing only town riding it's perfect for me. Before the power bug grabs me again The Stone is cool but has a big let down on one point: stock suspensions are crap. Has anyone an idea on good twin shocks suspensions with a great ratio quality/price ? Thanx
Admin Jaap Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 You could try Hagon shocks: lots of different sizes and they put on springs according to your total ride weight. Almost all the classic racers use them.
moto fugazzi Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 I put YSS shocks on my 2009 V7 Classic. While they're nice, I think I could have done equally as well with Hagon or Ikon shocks. After having the YSS for a few years now, I don't think they were the best shocks for the money. The one cool thing about them is that I can change riding height on them. They make different height "eyes" that thread onto the ends. Initially, I bought shocks that were 20mm shorter than stock to lower the bike, but I kept scraping the center stand on turns. I then ordered the longer eyes to raise the bike back up, and I'm much happier with the results. Review here: http://wildguzzi.com/forum/index.php?topic=45157.0 Ken
jihem Posted January 13, 2014 Author Posted January 13, 2014 Thanx for the link.There's also a new french company dealing with Guzzi shocks: shock factoryhttp://mandello.fr/shock.html 1
