Yes I know there have been numerous threads about different rear shock absorbers on the boxeye and I have used the search function but I have decided to post another anyways.
What have people got fitted ?
By checking Ebay I have found, 'Hagon' , 'Nitron', 'YSS', 'Wilbers' , 'Ohlins' and 'Hyperpro'.
The Ohlins is out of the question due to price. The rest of them can be had for between £300 - £370 which is still too expensive but at some point I need to bite the bullet. I am also aware that modifying a Gen1 1000 shock is possible but I don't intend to go down this route or infact modifying anything to fit.
By using the search function it would seem that the Nitron has respectful reviews but I don't want a turquoise spring and a black spring is a futher £10.
Side Issue: Why did they decide on turquoise being their default spring colour ? What bike does this actually suit ?
I am leaning towards the Hyperpro but just wanted to see what you guys think first
