Beauty is skin deep, but ugly goes all the way down to the bone.

If Santa does not bring me a decent back shocker this year, I may have to invest in one.
 
When I had a 955i the rear was much like the Tuono's. I looked into progressive springs and chatted to a fair few suspension shops about them .If you are looking for sharper sportier handling then they are not for you.They are a compromise on handling and thats why many manufacturers use them as standard on touring bikes as they offer passable handling across a wide range of loads on a bike. Linear rate springs rated to your weight and riding requirements are a better route if you are looking for sport/track type settings. IMHO.

Really depends on what you want.

Cheers Steve, pleased someone took the time to give some real feedback
 
Just spoke to Brook Suspension & they advised that other than overhaulling the old unit (£100.00) there is not a lot they can do with the Sachs unit.

They did say that the old unit would be "as new" afterwards - if thats any good, but the best thing is to replace it with a better one.
 
There's not much wrong with the original sachs spring tbh.

It's the dampening in the unit, it runs out of puff after 10 mins hard riding.
 
gf, yer lucky mucker, by the way whits a NEST. :(
