I fitted Ikon shocks to the bike about 4000km ago. 2000km on the original springs and 2000km on some heavier springs and with a spacer added.
Today I was riding the back road between Grafton and Coffs Harbour. It has become a bit of a goat track due to recent flooding. The handling suddenly went off so I pulled over to find this.
This is what it should look like.
I wired it up with a piece of wire liberated from a nearby fence and very cautiously cruised the 70km home.
I pulled the shock out when i got home and it looked like this.
All the bushes etc. are fine and not showing any signs of being flogged out.
So why did it shit itself? and what would you say is Ikons responsibility in this seeing as the shocks are virtually new and the breakage has flogged my new paint work
