New Shock?

Post by DavyB16 »

The suspension on the kr is pretty knackered and im planning on doing a few trackdays this year, so does any1 know where is the best place to get a new shock, or would it be better to get my original rebuilt (K-Tech/Maxton perhaps?). Not wanting to spend mega bucks so wud this be the better option?
Will have to get the forks done while im at it, any suggestions? Was thinking of the Hyper Pro springs, any other recommendations?

Any other suggestions welcome, thanks. :wink:

i get all my suspension rebuilt by http://www.mctechnics.co.uk/ they do a vgood job and are WP and ohlins dealers.
it is about £75-100 for rear shock rebuild and about £200 for front forks inc springs.
this for me is the best improvement you can do on your KR it totally changes the handling.
