hi grant, sorry your site is superb :-)) but i do not manage to find the link on the links page to reviews (i'm not superb!).
otherwise, here it is : i bought yesterday my r100gs pd, a classic edition one : very good condition, low kms, wp suspension at rear, bmw cases, very happy with it, plan to leave france in april/may
have to do the ''certificat de passage en douanes'' think and a few stuffs then go !
i also couldn't find info on russia or ex-USSR on your site, for travelling, visas, etc ... is there any ?
thanks !

I won't answer on cases, there's a link on the links page to reviews, and it's largely personal opinion and price.
On the shocks - yes it's necessary to change the BMW one. Chris Bright for example didn't believe us when we told him his stock shock wouldn't last - on I think the fifth total failure of a stock shock he finally bought an Ohlins, having done Africa, North America nad South America.
And he was riding solo on an R100GS - two-up it's a no-brainer - replace the stock shock.
I've never heard of a major failure on any of the better brand shocks.
I run a Works Performance shock from the USA - 15 years, around the world two-up and still good.
