Where to get good rear shocks.

[AS1_Andy]

Hello, I own a few old bike, and I am building a cafe racer with one. I am trying to find where to get good shocks that are 320mm. I have found cheap ones, and a few overseas but is there anyone in the US selling good shocks?
Thanks for any help

I think Hagon has a US site?

I saw some on DCC, but you know what they say about what you spend on and what you get.

Personally, I put money into suspension/wheels/tires and everything else later, including those 4-wheel things.

have you looked at race-tech?

DWMS racing is a distributor or Ramshox

I've heard good things about GAZI suspension, and i might use them on my next project. here's the link to their US distributor

Suggestions: Progressive, Bitubo for slightly better, but not quite Ohlins.

If money was no object, those Ramshox look nice. $800 for a pair of shocks on my CB360 is a little much though. I would need to be racing to justify that kind of money and hope that those shocks would help me win.

I am not riding my 36 year old bike hard enough to warrant that quality of shock.

The Gazo come in at $315, a little more reasonable.

If you are building a looker, not a real racer, get the $100 shocks. they look nice, and will keep the tires from rubbing on the frame. If you plan on having the old fat Firestones on your bike and no fork brace, I suggest you don't waste any money on competent shocks. If you really wanted handling, the tires and brace are the first place to look.

We can get these specifically made for the 350's. They will buld them with the specific bushing needed to mount on the stock shock posts.

Moto, do those come with piggy back reservoirs? Its not a big deal if not just curious.. I'll probably go with a set of these since its about the same money I payed for my front end haha! Yea, I can't justify anything over 500 for the old bike too. But these are definitely nice, and better quality than the eBay specials..

 

[MotoMadness]

Yes they have the version with Piggy back. They are $399 though.

I'm not seeing that picture for some reason.. do you have a link to that by any chance?

 

[MotoMadness]

This one should work. These are the YSS C-302 Shocks

I tried the DCC shocks on my 75 GT380. I bought a pair which was 1/2 inch longer than my OEM shocks. They handle quite will during spirited, but not extreme, riding. I am 235 lbs and they work fine for me in the softest setting. For the price they are excellent.
