May 23, 200620 yr Ok, the Otter/C15 is almost complete to the point where I can start riding it. One thing I need to do is replace the cheap NJB shocks that I've been using as 'place holders' for something a little better - I'm thinking a pair of Betors or similar. Does anyone have anything suitable knocking about? or can anybody offer any suggestions/advice as to where I can get something reasonably competative for a sensible price? Cheers UB
May 25, 200620 yr Falcon, new NJB and new Rockshocks all good I guess, trouble is no one will have tried them all or know how they last so please keep us informed as to your choice and how they perform. trf.
June 6, 200620 yr Author Looked at Falcons. Nice but pricey for my current needs. NJB ones with the universal bearings at each end are a nice idea, but completely untested AFAIK. Betors were a good compromise of price and quality and I've seen them around on plenty of other 250cc machines, so I went with those in the end. Cheers

So far so good and they are definitely a better setup for a heavier rider then the new Betors I had on previously... despite the "heavy" springs specified there. They look like something off of a mini-bike in comparison and it's a wonder the shafts didn't start to bend on them!DH
