    The rear shock on the suzuki GS 850 are completely shot, now i can buy a pair of copies from Taiwan for £50 on eBay, they look shiny but are they any good. Has anyone had any experience of these cheap copies.

    They could be good, but then again they could be shite meaning you have to buy another set . I'd buy an upgrade and save my pennies.

    Thanks for that, I think your spot on, for £50 I can try them and change them later on if they are not good, stick them on ebay for £30 ? Helpful response thanks
