In the spanish forum, there has been already about three cases of failure of the BGM rear suspension seal (on both the white and the black versions) Any idea if this is a common problem with BGM shockers?

What do the racers use on their group 6 machines? Every day I am more convinced that the Indian Escort is the way to go..

wasn't this a problem with the earlier ones, and now they have sorted this and recent shocks with the fix can be identified by a serial number ? not sure if there was a recall on the faulty ones though...

Nope, I've heard of/seen three recently, heard of one leak at Lincoln that resulted in the guy coming off as his rear tyre got a nice coating :evil:

Got rid of the R1 shock and decided to go for this one...

Seems well made with 16mm shaft and urethane bushes. It feels good so far...
