    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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...

  • This forum is for placing reviews for parts, accessories, gear and service as it relates to your GS motorcycle. The key here is "GS Related". There is a bit of latitude here but we don't want to see a review on Maytag washers just because that's what you use to clean your riding jacket in.

    Keep your review as factual as possible and please refrain from personal attacks. Posted articles will be reviewed by the Editors and may be removed at their discretion.

    So let's make this a useful addition to the forum! A special pat on the back goes to Hap Call for coming up with this great idea.

    The views expressed in this forum are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of "The GSResources" or the editors.

  • 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.

Installed a works shock on my 1150es last night. After about 60 miles of good back roads all I can say is "Ahhhhhhhhh" what an improvement. I got the least expensive model, but its way better than the 20 year old stock shock. Cost 450.oo including shipping. Took me 2 hours to install.
 
did works make that model for the 1150 or is it adapted to it?
 
Yes tell us more please :D itr seems all 1150 monoshocks have gone limp since Suzuki Japan stopped supply of them new.

Does Ikon/Proven make a version? The IKon (Koni formerly) shocks are made in Albury
 
Works Shock

Yes , the works shock is custom made for the 1150. It took about 3 weeks for it to get to me. If you order one they ask you all kinds of bike and rider combo questions. How much does the rider wiegh? Is bike stock? How good a rider are you? How do you use the bike? How much do you want to spend? (LOL) There are three versions I think, Steel body without remote resavore, and aluminum body with or without remote.I just put the steel body unit on my 84es. I also have an aluminum "ultra" with remote on my 85e thats over 10 years old and is about due for a rebuild, wich when I got my new one they told me should run less than 200.
 
Do you have a web address for them as I live in Australia?
