I need to replace the springs from my rear TLR200 Showa shocks. No longer available from Honda according to my dealer.

Does anyone know of a sub that will work?

Not wanting to spend hundreds on all new shocks if I can get just these springs replaced.

Thanks!

It was recommended to me that I go with new Betor shocks.

Betor Shocks

Has anyone tried these?

Betor`s are ok for the money,
but are not as good as a pair of Rockshocks,on a TLR .

I decided to go with new Falcon shocks from the UK.

Should be an improvement over what I have now. The Betors were almost an inch longer than the OEM's and I was told this could affect stability

Installed the Falcon shocks on my TLR200 and they look great!

Falcons work great for a while, but when they start leaking it costs quite a lot to have them rebuilt when you add on things like damper rods (which they always seem to need ,Hmm) etc
Just ordered a set of rock shocks so i can rebuild myself, will be interesting to compare performance!
