Intersting. I'd like more info on them though... Any good? Adjustable? etc.
I do like TUV approval though, at least if it's authentic...

According to the site they are adjustable in spring preload and hydralic rebound.

Interesting, I wonder if these are better than the GSXR shock transplants?

I know the Bitubo reseller in The Netherlands. Bitubo makes very high quality shocks, however $25 for a GSXR shock which is fully adjustable against $175 for a 'stock replica' shock is an easy choice.

$27! shipped baby!

but the cost to get my lazy ass to put it in is the real issue
I did change my oil and got rid of the internal leaks
and put in a (maniac told me to) fuel filter though.

Dave - dig around here and over in the 400 FAQ. People have done a bunch of different shocks. Some are significantly longer. Most of the newer ones have a piggyback reservior which requires some rearranging of the battery and coolant bottle to fit. Finding an older one that fits best in good shape is obviously difficult.
