    I want a decent cartridge kit and rear shock for next years racing. I've seen some combo's kicking about on ebay for the ohlins 30mm cartridge and TTX. Someone else suggested a DDS Lite rear shock. Where's the best place to shop and what sort of price should I be paying??

    I got mine from Dan Kyle Racing in America mate. A hell of a lot cheaper than over here.

    New your looking at a couple grand all in mate :( to save money their must be shed loads of 2nd hand shocks up for grab for that bike?

    I was really impressed with 100% recently and will be getting my internals done by them during the winter. They mainly deal in ktech though (would be my preference over ohlins anyway) but will do other stuff....

    Really helpful fella so no doubt if you gave him a call he'd talk you through options....

    Jase and sinewave had theirs done recently so sure they can help. Think it was at kais....

    Maybe selling a set of gold blade forks with ohlins 30mm cartridge kit and a TTX rear shock off of my 2010 CBR1000RR, serviced and setup at MCT suspension last year only done 60 road miles since. If you are interested?

    if your looking at 2nd hand then motoforum is your best bet,if new,then theres loads of dealers,but talking to the likes of neil at parkitt,james at infront,or colin at 100% as they are all trained technicians aswell as selling the stuff,so can advise on what you need,spring rate,oil weight etc ,so your not buying stuff that needs to be changed,and I'm sure you'd get a free set up session.

    I bought the TTX MK2 shock, and also full Ohlins forks mate.
    Even at that I got both for less than the forks cost over here plus a Brembo clutch lever thrown in.
