Wilber suspension on 1100GS

[Matt Padgham]

Does anyone know if Wilbers do suspension for the 1100. Have read a lot of good feedback about this setup and would like to try if a reasonable cost.
I have searched around the net for a UK dealer without much luck at the moment.

Yep, they do. I'm considering them too as a future investment. Not now, but...

I think stock shocks are doable some 50-100Kkms, then if worn out time to get something new and preferrably more quality.

Look at ADVrider - they had some group buys going on there for Wilbers. Maybe you get yourself in too. They were talking about 10-20% discount if getting some fair number of people into a group buy, if i remember correctly.


Me considering also WP and Öhlins for 1100 if time comes. Have to find out which of them is the best for my needs first.

And it's a pity they all cost excessive shite loads of money tho, even with the discounts

Yes, my riding mate has Wilbers F & R on his 1100 and they are great, according to him. We were out trail riding and were doing 80-90kph, getting airborne etc - my standard 1150 was bottoming out big time so we checked the temperature of the front shocks on both bikes - mine was so hot you could barely touch it, his was tepid. Nuff said, IMO.

Thanks for the advice so far, I'll try ADvrider to see if there are any group buys going on. Interesting comparison Burra boy on your mates 1100 with the Wilbers set up!!
IMO Ohlins are too expensive and don't seem to last as long from what I've read on this site.
