I found a change from the Marzocchi to the Koni (now Ikon) was well worth it when I had my Darmah

The new YSS shocks may be worth a look http://www.yss-australia.com/
they were about $700 NZD

Yesterday I took delivery of a set of Ohlins for my MHR which were twice the price of the YSS, once they are fitted and I have the emulators in the front end I will do a decent ride I will report back on them

I put Ikons on last year.

Steve's stuff looks the mutts nuts, but postage & duties to the UK make it a bit non-viable, which is a pity.

Anyway, the Ikons absolutely transformed the handling of my SS, but showed up the front end for the bag of **** that it was, due to the springs having sagged over time.
I got some Wurth springs up front, and once I'd got the balance back with the rear it was really good - it now just soaks up the bumps and stays totally planted everywhere. Reminds me of the Ohlins on my old 851.
You could buy 2 sets of fit-for-purpose shocks for the price of the Ikons, but there's no comparison - well worth the extra.
I'm sure this also applies to other multi-adjustable quality shocks, I just haven't tried them ;)

If Blabber's reading this - I suspect that you'll regret going original when you get on the road ;)

Cheers,

Andy

+1 On Steves recommendation of the Works Performance setup.I put the shocks and fork kit on my Darmah and the results are amazing.It even makes the 78 Darmah seat almost comfortable.

Steve -
are the works performance shocks avail in different lengths? Or adjustable - for ride height adjustment?
