lee harris Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 I have NJB experts on a 300, 240 and 200 fantic. Cant beat them for value for money. Some say the falcons are the best, I had two pairs which leaked after a year although they did perform slightly better! To get a good price email steve goode! www.stevegoodemotorcycles.co.uk HTH Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feetupfun Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 If you want the best shock action, buy Falcon. If you want to keep to a tight budget, buy NJB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totalshell Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 had the same experience as lee, although the falcons were good after a year they did leak now have Girlings on my cub.. Sorted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axulsuv Posted March 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 (edited) Thanks for the reply's... As little as I get to compete ,(hectic schedule,single dad ,3young kids, who get jealous of my bikes sometimes...)I think NJB's and some new front Springs from steve may be the way to go. And steve has supplied almost all of the parts for my fantic !!! Now if I could only come up with a new set of source coil windings and a trigger for her life would almost be complete Oh well back to work. Glenn And What Is a BUDGET!!! Don't you need money to have one of those?!!!? Edited March 29, 2006 by axulsuv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee harris Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 Rewound coils and triggers are available from Billy Boy Pye in Yorkyshire. Expensive but better than scraping the bike!!! Bill sends them to Spain for rewiding. Postage, VAT etc etc. We have to keep these old bikes running and as the parts get damaged, so the bits will be harder to find.

axulsuv Posted March 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 Yes as a older Trials rider who started this long before the game changed to stop and hop ,I want to keep my old girl working !!!! I am amazed at what the top riders are capable of now , but I'm to old to stop twisting a wrench for a living and try to become a stuntman. And yes I've a few modern mods to the fantic but it will still kick a## on the bikes I learned on , and thats enough for me... Thanks for the opinions, and was Bernie Schriber the point when technique changed? Glenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legs Posted March 31, 2006 Report Share Posted March 31, 2006 NJB have a new Trik shock comming out real soon........ watch press for details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axulsuv Posted May 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2006 Just read the info on the new trik shocks on the NJB website , the spherical bearings look to be a great idea !!! I just this weekend took my 240 pro to the bare frame to clean and repaint , replace all the brgs. and brakes etc. I am running two sealed needle brgs in each side of the swingarm w/a zerk fitting installed between them , so the action will be much better than the stock setup. I think with the new brg ended njb Trikshocks I'll be able to get some real good action out of the back of the old fantic !! Has anyone out there tried the new NJB's ????
