    Rear Pattern chrome shocks from Wemoto

    hey everyone,

    The Mulholland shocks I have installed on my ‘78 GS750 have had it. I know they were rebuildable at one point but I don’t think that’s possible anymore due to the lack of parts. I’m considering the rear pattern shocks from Wemoto. I’m a pretty restrained rider so I don’t really need anything fancy and the stock look is a huge plus in my book. Does anyone have any first hand experience with them?

    I have no experience with those shocks, but wemoto are a reputable company owned and run by bikers and do not sell poor quality parts.

      Shipping from the UK is a) going to be expensive and b) very slow. You might want to look at Progressive and Hagon shocks, sourced from the US. YSS also makes some really nice shocks. Those would be my first choice. The Bravo line is cheapest but good quality. The US website is quite poor, but you might want to try calling.

        Fortunately I’m not in a huge rush to get them. I’m just hopeful they’ll be better than the Emgos that people don’t seem to care for. I’ll look into the YSS and see what they want for them. Thank you for the suggestion!

          I'd second YSS. Very good quality, excellent value for money and much underrated in my opinion.

            I think they are probably the same as the Emgo's.... go with YSS or Hagon or Ikon. Progressive are also "ok" if you can't get the others but would be my 4th choice.... I've tried all of them at some point. Currently using Works performance trackers but you cant get them anymore.
