White House K10 - a story of regeneration

Cheers PB.

OK, next up: rear shocks.

Doing my research I had come to the conclusion that I would be replacing the stock shocks with a pair of Ohlins, however on closer inspection I could see that the shocks on the CB were not standard. Turns out they are HyperPro shock made especially for Honda Japan.

I contacted HyperPro (http://www.hyperpro.com) for more information. After sending him the photo of the serial number on the bottom, one of their sales specialists John Troost filled me in with all the technical data and provided set up recommendations. Great customer service, thank you again John.

The shocks are set for average rider and conditions, so that will definitely apply to me (90kg and slow...), so glad to say they are staying on for now until I've had a chance to thoroughly test them out. Best of all, that's saved me £900 for the Ohlins...
Best of all - the gold adjuster at the bottom matches the colour of the wheels!

That is a very nice bonus indeed. I have never seen rears like that before.

I thought so as well.

According to HyperPro, this is their basic "emulsion" shock which has an adjustment range for the rebound setting of 48 "click" adjustments, the standard setting at 25 from full hard. This is the set up manual:
