Factory shocks: KYB
First upgrade: YSS RZ362 sourced from www.yss-suspension.eu (NL)
Second upgrade: Ohlins TR923 sourced from www.classicbike-raisch.de (DE)
Approximate weight of each pair of shocks, as measured by me on some not especially accurate bathroom scales:
- 2 KYBs: 4.3 kg / 9.5 lbs
- 2 YSS: 3.2 kg / 7 lbs
- 2 Ohlins: 3.9 kg / 8.5 lbs
All products reviewed were paid for with my own money.
