    FULLY SERVICED WITH WRITTEN 6 MONTH GUARANTEE

    THIS IS A SHOWA FACTORY SHOCK ABSORBER WHICH IS NOT AVAILABLE TO RETAIL CUSTOMERS. THE SHOCK ITSELF HAS JUST HAD A FULL SERVICE BY MARK ARNOTT WHO WAS FAMILIAR WITH THE SHOCK AS HE HAD MODIFIED IT IN OR AROUND 2013 TO PREVENT THE REBOUND ADJUSTER FROM MOVING ROTATING DURING USE. THERE IS A SMALL M3 GRUB SCREW WHICH TIGHTENS AGAINST THE REBOUND WHEEL. ANSTEY COMPLAINED ABOUT THE REBOUND CHANGING AND IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THIS WHEEL COULD TURN WHEN RIDDEN AT HIGH SPEED.

    FITTING A QUALITY SHOCK ABSORBER OF THIS KIND IS THE MOST IMPORTANT UPGRADE YOU CAN MAKE TO YOUR BLADE. PROPERLY ADJUSTED YOUR LAP TIMES WILL TUMBLE AND MORE IMPORTANTLY YOU WONT. YOU WILL BE ABLE TO ACCELERATE HARDER EARLIER OUT OF CORNERS. YOUR MID CORNER STABILITY WILL BE TOTALLY CONSISTENT. THESE SHOCKS PROVIDE SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER PERFORMANCE DESPITE YOU PUSHING HARDER AND HARDER.

    IT IS PRESENTLY SETUP FOR A RIDER OF 13 - 17 STONE WITH FULL GEAR.

    THE RESERVOIR ON THESE SHOCKS ACAN ALSO CAUSE SOME PROBLEMS AND THIS TOO HAS BEEN MODIFIED TO ENSURE THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN.

    THIS SHOCK ABSORBER IS IN DECENT COSMETIC CONDITION WITH NO DAMAGE BUT THERE IS A SMALL MARK ON THE RESERVOIR AND THIS IS SHOWN.

    MECHANICALLY THE SHOCK IS PREFECT. IT HAS HAD A FULL SERVICE BY MARK WHO IS AN APPROVED OHLINS SERVICE ENGINEER AND HAS WORKED FOR SEVERAL TOP TEAMS. IT HAS HAD THE OIL REPLACED AND THE NITROGEN GAS RECHARGED. ALL SEALS HAVE BEEN REPLACED.
