Looking to maybe upgrade the suspension on my Triumph T120

Don't want to spend a fortune as it's not intended to be a race bike so forget ohlins etc
Don't want piggy backs either to keep the look classic

I've found a couple of choices for shocks which look good for a similar price

The YSS are slightly cheaper than the Bitubo and have progressive rate springs so are maybe better technically too, I just don't know the brand very well

So badge snobisme aside YSS or Bitubo ?
 
Have you considered Ikon (what used to be called Koni)?

Edit: I just went onto their home page looking for Guzzi shocks and there at the top of the page was stuff about a complete T120 kit (front progressive springs as well as rear shocks).

Thanks for that Andres, I'll see if I can find a price for them over here
 
Noticed it was delivered with the shocks set to minimum preload, 1 out of 5

Set them to 3 today and it's made quite a difference, has quickened up the steering a shit load :thumb2

Gonna try on 4 tomorrow, might stick with the bogo suspension after all :rolleyes:

So you folks with new Bonnie's, if you haven't RTFM the tool is inside the right hand panel, use it, you will be pleased you did :rob
