Gears Racing Shocks

[camoto_imp]

I figured I would post a follow-up to my own question as this didn't get any attention here. After doing some research, I found that this company is a Taiwanese company who is relatively new to the scene. They produce great quality suspension components for the racing scene (SXS, motorcycle, kart, etc.) From what I could tell they have a good reputation by their users (still relatively few but in the racing scene they have some wins).

After talking to Tommy at Gears-Racing in CA and hearing what he had to say about the product I was willing to take a chance with their products. I ordered the "Classico Edition" piggybackless shocks for the CB1100 (Classico is the black color scheme). I specifically wanted a piggybackless shock to avoid interference issues with my luggage.

I received the shocks today and was extremely impressed with the quality and workmanship. The machining and anodizing is flawless. I also was able to get out for a short test ride and I can only say that these shocks are heads and tails better than stock (to be fair I think most shocks would be a significant improvement as the stockers are garbage).

Bottom line I am pleased with the product, the fit and finish and the price was better than some of the other offerings in this class.
