Looking for some advice in regards to my 2000 Fazer's suspension, hope you can help. It has 34k on the clock and although it's actually not too bad yet, I think a suspension upgrade maybe on the cards this year.
I'm a light fella at around 10 stone or 65kg. Mostly solo riding on the road, though I take a pillion regularly. Not looking for a rock hard ride, just a refresh of the suspension so it's confidence inspiring when I push a bit harder.
So, for the rear - first of all, am I correct in thinking that NONE of the oem fzs600 shocks are rebuildable? Assuming it's not, I think my first choice is the basic Wilbers through MCT or Revsracing who'd fit it and set it up for me. An alternative is buying the basic Nitron, though I think I'd like them to set it up and fit it for me also.
As for the forks - I think I want to get them rebuilt & set-up by MCT or Revsracing. Is it worth spending another £100 on new springs or is a rebuild & a set-up by a pro enough?
This is all going to be pretty expensive! :'( Do you think it's worth spending £500+ and do you have any recommendations or suggestions? I'd be really grateful to hear them. Cheers!
