Happy new year everyone :) ..
so while the bike is spending more time in the garage due to work and weather .. I thought I would upgrade the suspension .. starting with the front spring .. so far I am considering either Wilbers or HyperPro are there other options out there I should consider ? I saw I could have cartridges installed but that seems a little over the top for my riding ,as for the back ... I see the same options + Nitron but when looking at ordering there seems no weight options unless you order a complete ala Nitron .. is this correct or do you get the weight option when say ordering HyperPro ..
Cheers for any advice in advance .
:)
 
With regards Nitron, rugged roads are a suppliers and on here as memebers. RR were able to offer a good deal on a set for my 12GSA, which was far better value when compared to the Wilbers or Ohlins options I had looked at. You supply weights, riding styles etc etc for them to be made for you

Mention ukgser via the rugged roads site or look for Annette in the embers list. I can't remember the user name for the fella I dealt with.

Good luck
 
Give Firefox a bell. It's the front end that needs sorting on the gsa and they do a ride in ride out service. I had one and considered getting it done but I sorted it with a trade in for a 12 gsa. JJH
 
A set of HyperPro front springs with their own oil should cure the front end problems. :thumby:
Also, what tyres are you running, they can make a difference?
I had a 800Adv with ESA and fitted Hyperpro springs front and rear and in my opinion it transformed the bike. I recently changed it for a 2017 Euro4 spec bike, again with ESA and the suspension on this bike for some reason is much better, more compliant.:clap
The tyres on the new bike are Tourance Next and they have made a big difference.

Thanks for the replies Peeps , with regards to the Nitron shock I had one on my Vara ordered direct from Nitron and it transformed the rear .. original was shot though .. but when ordering you give weight details etc and it comes with correct spring weight for your size :) .
@ Bilko .. hi Mine is a 16 plate so not sure if suspension is the same but this one doesn't feel as good as my previous 13 plate F800 Gsa and I have just changed from Bridgestones to anakee 3's .
