Some of you may of seen the new PRO range of shocks by BGM?Scooter Center. I was very lucky to receive a rear one for testing at Mallory last sunday. Ok... I didnt last that long on the bike but even only in ten laps I could immediately tell how good it was.
Obviously this is from a race perspective and most of you ride on the road but I think it will be even better for the road in its current form as tested by me. For race use I have requested a slightly heavier oil but the rest is superb. The bike felt much more stable through the 90mph Gerards corner. I cant wait for the intended front shock which I will be testing soon.
I have made some minor revisons to the lower bracket to suit my jacked up race bike but this wont be necessary for the road though I do know Scooter Center are looking into this modification and tidying it up for possible production.
Compression and rebound damping is adjustable independantly as is spring preload of course.
I was using the upper ranges on the damping controls but for the road I think they have it spot on.. definately gets the thumbs up from me and I will look at buying some for my road 90ss if I ever get time to put it back on the road.
