ever heard of forsa?

[Guest]

Anyone ever heard of Forsa Enterprises shocks? I was wondering if they are a decent aftermarket rear shock, I saw a gs750 with a pair parked on the street. They looked clean... do they perform well?

I think they are those same "Posh Racing" shocks with a different label...Not sure but i would post up some pics if you could. Do some investigation. I think Mackenzie did a write up on those Posh shocks and concluded that they were just as crappy and dangerous as everyone thought they were...They're designed for light weight bikes and scooters..


EDIT... nope i take that back. They are probably made by the same people that make the MDI/EMGO shocks. They're better than the clapped out stock shocks, but unless you're a big guy, they get complaints that they're stiff as a board in the dampning dept. Ive a set of MDIs on my cafe, but im 250lbs, and they feel pretty good..

Yeah those are MDI's...Forsa must be a rebadge or perhaps even the ACTUAL manufacturer of MDIs... Like I said, decent, affordable replacements that are better than stock by a shot, but not a high performance shock by any means...Nice for what they are tho. Dual rate springs. A bit stiff and non compliant for light bikes or light riders.

lowest prices can be found on partsnmore, after searching the forum

sounds like they are decent for their prices, albeit on the stiff side. Sounds good to me.

Is there an echo in here??

I thought this was a thread about Fast By Ferracci Ducati (Forsa)aftermarket exhausts?

I requested prices for YSS shocks for the fun of it; can you believe these shocks costs $989.00?

Those cheap shocks are garbage. I put a pair on a XJ Turbo (about as heavy as a GS1100) and it felt like I was running a rigid rear end. I'm 225lbs, so take that for what it's worth.

I could afford those. I'd have to sell my bike to do it though.
