Honda Transalp XL700
 

Anyone has a feedback about the YSS shocks? I have a XL700 and my stock rear shocks has 33K miles and is sagging too much, I do most of my trip with two up plus luggage, so, instead refurbishing my stock one, I'm think about upgrading it.

The YSS has a good price (£290) in UK, but I don't know if it is good, so, I would like to hear from anyone who as any experience with it.

The Hyperpro Sport Rear Shock Absorber is only £80 more... but, worth it?!?! Or the YSS has a better cost/benefice?

Thanks for the help!

Suspension: Rear Shock
 

I say go for Hyperpro. I have uppgraded my stock rear shock with HP spring and I am happy with it. And yes I have a XL700.

I have an XL650 and upgraded the whole stock unit - not just the spring - with a brand new Hyperpro shock absorber.

I couldn't be happier. It's a big improvement over the stocker. Got the black option (don't like the purple colour.)

Unable to comment on the YSS shock, sorry.

Thanks guys!

Keith1954, I'm really tempted to get the Hyperpro shock absorber as you did. Do you travel with two up?

With my stock shocks, when i have two up + luggage my bike gets really low and I'm really looking to get it higher changing the shocks...

Yep, I mainly travel 2-up + all our luggage, which includes a ton of 'er indoors' essentials (like a hair-drier an'all .. really!)

• Before Hyperpro upgrade - bottoming-out constantly ..:(
• After Hyperpro upgrade .. bottoming-out, just now and again (infrequently) .. :thumbup1:

Let me know if you need any more info.

Cheers

Keith, I didn't understand a word of what you said! bottoming-out?!?!? LOL!!! Translate please!!!!

Mate, I'll answer that when I'm sober. Gimme 12 (hours) .. or so .. :thumbup1:
