  1. I got an offer on Wilbers 641 + front springs (including shipment) with ~860$ Should I go for this or is Öhlins the only good choice?
  2. I've been going through some aftermarket options as well. Of course the choices here in the other side of the ocean are a bit different but maybe someone could share opinions regarding some shocks? -Wilbers 630/641 -630 (adjustable preload and rebound damping, no remote reservoir) -641 (remote reservoir + high/low compression dampening) -Öhlins HO 043/203/605 -HO 043 (adjustable preload and rebound damping, no remote reservoir) -HO 203 (same as HO 043 but with a hose mounted hydraulic spring preload adjuster) -HO 605 (with remote reservoir, cooks, slices, irons) As I'm pretty much a newbie with shock absorbers and (yet?) I do no track days, does it make any sense to go for something with more adjustments? Would you suggest having something with a remote reservoir? At least I found some online store selling HO 043 + front springs + oil with ~ 800$. That alone doesn't sound such a big investment on safety :)
  3. Thanks for the quick answer and detailed answer! I probably need to dig up a bit more to see which are the other viable options if I don't want to go high with the budget. The lady is getting old so I wouldn't want to put too much money in her but it could be that the biggest obstacle here in Finland might be availability. I can find some F4/F4i -shocks but certain others might be more difficult to find. And yes, atm. the height is pretty okay for me. I can get my heels to the ground but very barely, so even 10mm would help me. I blame my parents for the short genes
  4. Hi! I own a 2002 VFR and I'm planning to do some maintenance regarding the shocks. I was thinking of changing the rear shock for F4/F4i shock. I'm 5'9" (175cm) and 165 lbs (75kg). So what I'm asking: 1) I read the F4/F4i shock is 11mm shorter. Can I install it without a spacer and compensate it by lowering the front? I would really appreciate even a little reduction in the height. 2) Since I'm not that heavy, will the shock need a stiffer spring? I appreciate any tips :) Best Regards, Hasse

    You can try googling for "Lago di Carezza" (or Karersee in German?). Somehow I think my version didn't get anywhere close to those pictures but still looks really nice :)
