After spending weeks trawling the interweb trying to get some Ohlins forks for my RR7. I've resigned myself that unless I spend over £3k on all the bits needed, then they aren't going on. So, plan "b". My suspension chap, Gareth, at Reactive Suspension, has suggested Andreani cartridges to fit the Showa forks. Never heard of them but it seems that they are what Ten Kate use in their race bikes... Has anyone here had experience of these suspension manufacturers ?? Cant really find out much in the way of reviews on the web and they ain't cheap.. So I'd prefer some feedback if possible before I lay down the hard earned cash... Though it seems like my options are limited now given the age of the bike..
The European Junior Cup run by Pata Honda are using them in the new CBR650f championship bikes with an Ohlins rear shock set up. Never heard of them before bit can't be too bad if they are using them too.
Tom, I managed to pick up a set of cartridges from PDQ - Matris an itallian make. Managed to get them for £600 instead of the usual £1000 after a little haggling. I also bought a 2 year old Ohlins HO-064 from Fleabay for around £350 and a service for £140 from memory from PDQ again. Bike was professionally set up for me and its great now. Just shows you don't have to spend big big money to get a good set up.
