I've had Wilbers susp before on a Honda ST13 and found it truly excellent. As soon as the RT's suspension needs doing I'll be looking at these from REVS at Halesowen (Tel: 0121 501 3321)

Having done a search on here it looks like there’s several that have used Revs/Wilbers, seems like a popular choice
I have used REV,s with Wilbers
Also one to consider is Maxton ,they are also the manufacturer
As one would imagine they are very knowledgeable about what the customer requires.

They do make a very nice shock as I bought and fitted both the reset shock and had the front end revalved on the Pan prior to the Wilbers, however the remote preload failed on two European tours and eventually they removed and refunded me for the cost of the remote preload.
The advantage with the Wilbers is that it is produced for the RT Susp system and then set up for your weight, use, pillion etc. The Maxton had also been set up for us as well but, though I hate to say it, the shock wasn’t really up to the job.
How I hate autocorrect, hopefully this may make sense.
