Wilbur Suspension

[Gabby]

Does anyone know where else to buy Wilburs Suspension from other than Every Accessories?

They don’t reply to emails or answer the phone. Loath to hand over that sort of money to an organisation that you can’t get hold of!

Thanks in Advance.

I ordered some from them a few weeks ago and they were really on the ball. I'd try again as they could be ill or something

i believe someone here bought direct from the factory.

i bought mine from EveryAccessory and they were fine.

another one here for EA, not only were they quick to reply, both by E-mail and phone they give you 10% off for being a member here..worth perseveering just for that...

All sounds good but still no reply to my emails and no answer on the number on his Web site.

I'll hang on and see.

You could try.......

I contacted Revs Suspension Services.

Bloke I spoke to seemed on the ball. Didn't actually place an order as I am saving my pennies!

You could give them a try

Good point, when my shock came through it had a couple of Rev's racing stickers and a business card inside the Wilbers box (along with EA's. They must do business together in some way

Big Thumbs up for Every Accecories - he just rang me and has taken the order.

Gave me a good UKGSER discount as well.

Good stuff.

Ignore this thread all sorted and Every Accecories were brilliant.

if I may offer some advice on fitting...


REAR
easy to do, remove wheel and exhaust, 15 min job, the Hyd remote has a lovely CNC brkt to mount it, the Remote damper unit has two rubber blocks and two jubilee clips.. the ONLY part I was dissapointed with.
Threadlock is your friend

FRONT
Harder to fit but, you need to hold the OE centre still with an allen key while you slacken the nut.you can do this by sliding the tank rearwards.or removing the filler and all sorts like I did and struggle to re-fit (like I did)
you DO need to remove the centre section of the crash bars..it doesn't look like it but you do
leave the rear wheel OFF as you need to lift the whole bike on a jack to give you the clrearance to achieve it
also.watch out for the centre spacer on the top mount, mine looked like part of the OE shaft.it ISN'T and you need it, I ended up having to remove the shock again to fit this...
it may need a "tug" to get the last bit out..I also found it much easier to remove the horn to give me more room...

read the Tips N tricks thread on it..lots of info there...

I've left mine as they came from the factory and only now after about 5-700 miles or so am I feeling the need to twiddle as they are bedding in nicely,
when new ride height is about the same as OE on full, I can now comfortably get both feet on the floor..
enjoy...

Big thumbs up for the heads up Funners matey boy

I'll let you all know how I get on. If I reck the bike I will offer it here as salvage for parts.

Just got my Wilbers suspension fitted.............took it for a wee spin with a srewdriver in my pocket,250 miles later all it needed was 1 click less low speed comp and 1 click more rebound on the rear.
No more jolting over bumps,wallowing etc etc.
I have ridden all sorts of bikes over the years,on all makes of suspension (Ohlins,WP etc),have used companies like KTech (WSB & BSB suppliers),and this is the FIRST time ever that the suspension worked straight out of the box!.
All of my previous suspension units had to go back for reshimming/re valving etc.
I cannot give enough praise for these guys at EA,highly impressive stuff indeed.
The BEST money you will ever spend on a BMW,period!
