Anybody have any of theses installed? if so how much did you pick it up for?
Any reviews about it? Comparison between a penske and a stock rvf or Vfr rear shock?
Thanks

I have one on my fireblade, and holy crap is it awesome! Upgrading the suspension on our vfrs is the best performance for the money upgrade out there.

I have penske's on nc35, nc30, and vfr750. Performance of an Ohlins, at 2/3 the cost. Even GF says they are tops

have one fitted to my £300 track bike project from gumtree . it came with the set up manual notes and receipts for the new shock and the forks being reworked by reactive suspension york it looks a top quality piece of kit .

I have an Ohlins rear, but it is really hard to make an objective comparison! Swapping out a tired 20 year old shock for a brand new adjustable unit, that has been setup sepcifically for my needs, is always going to feel 'better'!
