where to get shocks?

[chris myers]

where is the best place to get shocks that will bolt up like oem shocks. I want them to perform at least as good and I want the supplier to be reliable. Oh, and it would help to be a value for money deal.
Thanks,
Chris

The junkyard for me.
Got my progressives at the Cycle Salvage for 60 bucks.

Best value would be Progressive Suspension:

Better performance, but higher price - Ikon (I have these on my 1100):

Excellent performance, very high price - Ohlins:

Best performance, very high price - Penske:

If you're looking to do it on the cheap, them here are some at Cycle Recycle imported by EMGO for $90. Brand new, chrome or black.

These are not going to ride like progressives, ikons or ohlins, but you get what you pay for!

Question: is it true that Ikon is the same manufacturere as "Koni"?
And Koni changed the name for some reason?

[gspaul]

No they got out of motorcycles, so they sold the right's, tech info etc.
But the Ikon's are the same quality.
