shocks? good bad and ugly?
ok sorry if this has been done before, Im currently building the back end for my trike and had been planning on running a pair of bike shocks on the
back, but generally they arent strippable and the ones that are, do not have much in the way of variety of springs etc
I have seen GAZ ones in a few places about £60 each, I only need 2
Im really wanting them as slim as possible will be going down to the bottom wishbone with it so want to have some room.
I have seen negative comments regarding these, is this just certain models? or maybe older ones?
seen protek? mentioned in a magazine any suppliers of these that can be recomended?
I dont have a lot of money, but what I do spend needs to be spent wisely, I cant afford to buy and then have to replace soon after
heavy is good, heavy is reliable, and if it breaks, hit them with it

I would go Protech Gaz seem to have a few problems with leaks I have protec and had a problem with 1 shock sent it in 3 years old and it was serviced
and returned foc within 4 days
Life is like a bowl of fruit, funny how all the weird looking ones are left alone

Protech are probably the best value for money and not too expensive.

+1 for Procomp - really knows his stuff (and can probably advise on spring rates too)
