K-tech Shocks

Hi,

Thought I'd start a standalone thread for this instead of the 2 separate existing ones.

I have had a positive reply from K-Tech to say they have forwarded on my issue to their engineering team but that they are away until 2nd June. They also said they are sure they can rectify the issue.

I mentioned I know of some Speed Twin owners with the same problem.

I'll keep you updated.

Cheers

 

Bugger! I meant Jan....

 

Thanks.

Happy New Year to you and all other forum members.

 

K-Tech have replied and offered to collect the shocks and alter them to provide enough clearance. I think it is how company's deal with issues that mark them out and K-Tech responded really quickly with a no-quibble offer to resolve the issue. Just hope the paintwork is ok, not sure what to do if not, try a repair myself or go back to K-Tech again.

 

Took the shocks off and can't see any paint damage to worry about, maybe some slight scuffing but not through the paint and you would have to be looking with a torch to notice.

K-Tech have arranged for the shocks to be picked up this afternoon and will be back with me next week. Really hope they sort them out, when I took them off they seem such good quality items and must weigh half as much as the original ones.

 

I presume as I never rode mine it never got any knocks through the shocks to chip the paint.

I've emailed K-Tech to request my shocks are set to the standard 1200 S length.

Hopefully all will end well, and credit to K-Tech for a no quibbles fix.

Wonder how many others will never realise though.

 

Got the shocks back on Friday and fitted them today. Loads of clearance now so all sorted.

Hope everyone else gets their shocks fixed as well.

Cheers

 

Here you go, masses of space now.

 

Yes, they do seem to be adjusted to pretty much the shortest setting, but are the same length as the original Kayabas.
