unclebuck Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 Ok, the Otter/C15 is almost complete to the point where I can start riding it. One thing I need to do is replace the cheap NJB shocks that I've been using as 'place holders' for something a little better - I'm thinking a pair of Betors or similar. Does anyone have anything suitable knocking about? or can anybody offer any suggestions/advice as to where I can get something reasonably competative for a sensible price?

trialsrfun Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Falcon, new NJB and new Rockshocks all good I guess, trouble is no one will have tried them all or know how they last so please keep us informed as to your choice and how they perform. trf.

unclebuck Posted June 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 Looked at Falcons. Nice but pricey for my current needs. NJB ones with the universal bearings at each end are a nice idea, but completely untested AFAIK. Betors were a good compromise of price and quality and I've seen them around on plenty of other 250cc machines, so I went with those in the end.

So far so good and they are definitely a better setup for a heavier rider then the new Betors I had on previously... despite the "heavy" springs specified there. They look like something off of a mini-bike in comparison and it's a wonder the shafts didn't start to bend on them!DH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
