Can anyone recommend replacement shocks brand and supplier for 300 TT. Thanks

 

KYB AGX shocks (4 way adjustable) or the Tokico's illumina's (5 way adjustable)

 

You get them from several sources in the US between $90-$125 a piece.

Try www.eatricezone.com, www.vitessi.com or www.sgpracing.com

I've just ordered a set of the Tokico Illumina's from MJP, if you call Mike he may be able to add another set to the order.

 

Just removed a pair of Tokiko Illumina, front and rear. Great shocks but I felt ride was too harsh.

 

Finally fitted the stocks ones I bought ages ago from a Zed that was being dismantled, 100 squid for all 4. Did it today, not too hard but takes ages to remove all the trim in the rear to get access to the bolts. (took me 7 hrs to do all , with a couple of tea brakes thrown in, I'm sure it can be done in a lot less time!)

 

Ride is a lot less bumpy now.

 

I do recommend the Tokiko Illumina they are great shocks but do not offer as smooth a ride as stocks ones. However the Illumina I removed had lower RS springs, maybe thats what made the ride so bumpy.

 

You could go down my route Chris, some of the guys who have upgraded their originals may still have them and they still might be in good condition. Ask, you never know. I'll be giving my illumina to my bros, so sorry there not for sale:-)

Hi George,

Did you have any problems fitting the front shocks?

Cheers,

Hello Trey,

 

Good question mate. The front were harder to fit then the rear and it was a 2 man job in the end.

 

With the rear shocks I found that you can position the top bolts of the shocks into their rightful place on the chassis and then deal with the bottom bolt relatively easy.

 

However with the front, it took me ages to figure this out:

 

Firstly fit the bottom end of the shock in and then with some leverage, used a long plank off wood and a friend's weight, guide the top end of the shock into place on the chassis and then tighten.

 

The bottom bolt of the shock on the front also had a clip protector on it which is easy to take off, the rears don't have this clip. You also need to undo one more bolt which is merely a clip which holds the brake piping and is attached to the shock.

 

Make sure you also have some copper grease to put on the mounting plates of the shocks, put grease on top and bottom.

 

Be very careful where you place the plank of wood for leverage so as not to damage the brakes.

 

There may be an easier way and if so I'd like to hear about it too. (I even had the manual at my disposal but didn't find it that useful.) Even so there fitted and everything works A okey.
