Thanks guys.
Ok, the most complicated part of this job seems to be sourcing all of the parts.
The forks may need a servicing and they may also need fresh springs to suit my weight. From what I understand is the stock springs are suited to a 155lb rider. I’m around 180 without gear.
I’ve spoken to a specialist here in Ireland and have done some calculations in regards to the title of this thread.
Firstly, if I were to go with DMR in America and have it shipped it would cost 800 euro for the shock and 600 for the forks which would still need servicing (new seals, oil etc) totalling 1400 euros plus service (not sure of the cost)
The specialists recommended a wilbers (640 i believe) rear shock for 580 euros and wilbers progressive springs for the front for 160 euros. Totalling 740 euros plus service (not sure of the cost) which i may be able to get them to do if I also get them to fit the shocks.
What I was thinking is; ordering DMR rear shock =800 euros and wilbers progressive springs for the front =160 euros plus the price of service and fitting =960+??
What are you’re thoughts and opinions on this.
Would the difference between wilbers rear shock and DMR rear shock be worth the 240 euros extra?
