Mk shock Diameter
Jay k - 23/2/07 at 12:14 PM

I am looking to purchase some Protech shocks, MK say they sell the 1.9" diameter ones (£350).

Is there any reason why the 2.25" diameter shocks cannot be used?

What are the best ones to use for a BEC (fireblade)?

If I was I wouldn't be fused what diameter shocks went on, I buy both sets and see what fitted and which were the best!!!!!!!!!

I bought Protechs from Mk about 3/4 years ago.

Pretty sure they're the 2.25" ones.

Cheers,
James

I e-mailed MK and they say they are 1.9" and the poundage would be 350 front and 200 rear.

MNR sell the 1.9" for £315
2.25" for £340

MK then sell the 1.9" for £350

If the 2.25" can be used I think I will go with them from MNR.

Cheers, Jamie.

The ones MK supplied me with my kit were from memory 350lb
I changed them for 200lb for a light Fireblade build and they are only wound a couple of turns up.
