    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Just made my boiler room deal :shock:. Going to ship out after a Sweden Holiday is over.\\:D/
Hope these things come in black. [-o< Trying to confirm with the source.


Divorce to soon follow.
 
The res will be gold, the spring can be either black or yellow depending on weight -you have to specify with her because some of the heavier springs only come in yellow.
 
After I talked with her on the phone, I emailed her about my wanting black springs. I should not need heavy springs, i'm only 185
 
If that is the case, your's will be black. Mine are set up for 185 and they are black. Only the heavy springs (I think over 225) use the yellow springs.
 
I just go mine in the mail, what a thing of beauty. Can't wait to install them.
 
Yeah, I can't imagine why nobody has posted photos yet. They are a work of art, no kidding there. Almost a shame to put them on a motorcyle. Okay, well maybe that's going a little too far. :)

the standard springs are yellow. You have to request black. I bought a set a yr ago for a 190 lb rider and they were yellow. Tried to buy a black set for myself 1 1/2 yrs ago and and they showed up yellow so I sent them back.

And just a note, The contact phone number that is given here is the same as the packing slip I have from the set I bought last yr.

Well, like I said, they are coming from the same place. I'm sure the contact is different though. Mine does not, nor ever has worked in sales.

The shocks are actually shipped from Sweden to NC without springs and the distributor then installs the spings in NC before they ship to the customer so that they match the riders requirements. In some cases you can request black or yellow, but in other cases (the heavier riders) you can only get yellow.
 
Be nice to get rid of the old KYB's on the 1100, they're pooched big time
 
Well, it's only $450 plus shipping and a simple phone call away... :) PM me if you want the contact info.
 
Just to update the quantity of what is for sale, there are 2 SU143's available, and 1 SU145. The SU143's can be had for $450 plus shipping and the SU145 can be had for $750 plus shipping. I think I had the 145 listed before for $800, but since there is only one set left they'll let it go for $750 now.
