WP Rear Shock

Post by carmanbikes »

Hello everyone, Sorry I haven't been on here for a while due to suffering a stroke about 3 months ago, so the bike was just left in the garage and didn't get much attention but I am feeling a bit better so going to try fit some bits and pieces that I have bought, First is a WP Rear Shock just wandering has anyone got one of these fitted could send me a pic of where they have fitted the 2 separate remote bottles. Thanks fellas in advance

Can't help with where to mount the remote reservoirs but glad to hear you are on the mend. Must have been a bit of a fright having a stroke!

I'm glad to see you back, I'm sorry to hear what has happened. As Al says that must have been a scary time. I hope you're on the mend.

As for the shock, bigtwinthing had a WP shock on his Storm. Not sure if he has any photo's as he's not got the Storm now, also his may have only had one canister,

I've got a Penske with a remote unit mounted on the left seat subframe, same as the Nitron in Macs photo.
Glad you're back on your feet mate. Makes you appreciate your own mortality.
Hope you make a full recovery :thumbup:

Hi All, Thanks for all the well wishes, I am getting better now with just a little numbness in my left arm and a real bad tiredness but I am told this may go in time, It was a frightening experience when it happened as my sight went at first but luckily that has now returned, Thanks also for the info and the pics I will now head off to the man cave to fit the rear shock see how long I last before falling asleep :lol: :lol: :lol:
