Made by Protech, they've been around for years, at least 13 (see above) with Lambretta shocks

Doah.....Feel a bit of a numpty now.Got a tad confused with the name Pro....Don't know why,but thought that may have been PM. That sounds good at £150.May look at one of those for the GP build over the winter.Having said that,It's bizarre that many of us have several shocks lying around [I've got five]and still want a different one As for the pices of em,I think upto £150 is the limit to be honest......How much shocker do we actually need? If you can get Jap R1/R6 ones built up for you for under £150,then I think some are having a laugh regards price.Some I've seen in dealers or the mags look weak at the top,especially when you think that some of us aren't as light as we used to be,ride 2 up and carry enough luggage for a six month rain forest adventure.

The Protech looks good as well

Was changing the engine mounts on a mates RB yesterday and his scoot has had one on for the last 4 years.Looks nice in the flesh and he rates his highly.

This is a nice rear shock, got one fitted to my s type

R1 shock transformed mine, done a few now, paid anything from 5 quid to 30 quid from ebay, then its only £35ish for bushes and spring, money well spent.

I got mine from Chiggy but went for his 180lbs spring.

If Im not mistaken the standard Protech spring is a about 220lbs and a bit hard for some.

Nope, for whatever reason, this spring is not hard, it can be set to bounce all over the place if you so wish, or set for a really great ride on a firmer setting.

It's a beautiful shock.Ray was showing me one the other week and it looked lovely.British built and they have been developing it for a while.Bit pricey for me though,but I hope they turn out to be a good piece of kit.

Had a look yesterday at AF look a nice shock be good to hear from any one using them
