Non laverda: advice on rear schox for bultaco alpina

[Mingh]

Hey,

Suspension on my 1973 alpina needs more than a buff. Any recommended rearshocks that don't break the bank? Are the replica betors any good, or are youse all going to shout Maxton?

Hi Mingh,

The Betors aren't top notch, that's for sure.  But they are cheap!

I'm on the 2nd pair on my Honda TLR, the 1st lasted about 3 seasons.  The new set does seem to be better built than the first, damper rod is also thicker... and a bit heavier.  Snezzy in Belgium tours the classic club and european championship circuit paddocks, usually has several pairs in different lengths and fitted with various springs on hand.  Tania is reliable nice to deal with.

I've always found NJB to be most helpful and very reasonably priced. If you tell them the shock length, your weight, likely usage etc, they'll tailor some to suit.

The Rock Shocks get good reports, but I have no prersonal experience of them.
