Is there a remote reservoir or did you build it so that it is not needed?

This is their prototype test shock. Twin Motorcycles: "More Specs Tuesday, We are building up the parts list to make a cost price for the shock, I hope to post more news next week and keep is as cheap as possible." If you are on Facebook you can look them up. They have a public profile, so you don't have to friend request or subscribe if you don't want to. |

I get that it is a prototype. If it works without the remote reservoir, rebuildable here in the states, and in the $400 - $600 range I am all for it and would be interesting in purchasing one. If it is $800 like the Works shock then I will probably stick with my current shock which I sent out to be rebuilt while I set aside money for a Works shock. UPDATE: reading his facebook posts he suggests that they will build them with both a reservoir and without. I would be interested in the cheapest decent dependable street ride as I am done doing trackdays with my M2. (Message edited by koz5150 on March 13, 2012) |

Koz5150 ~ I had my S1's OEM shock re-valved and rebuilt right after I got it. Over the years I rebuilt the shock several times to the point where my suspension guy said the shock was completely worn out. With no other choice, I bought a Penske. The difference was night and day. If I had known the improvement was going to be so dramatic I would have done it much sooner. Recall shocks blow seals, it is a lousy design. I have never done a motorcycle track day. |
