Have you ever heard of this company or any idea how good/bad this rear shock is? https://www.amazon.co.uk/FG-SHOCK-FSM11-SHOCK-APRILIA-A0M007FSM11/dp/B00OZTRI16/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1480102837&sr=8-2&keywords=Aprilia+RSV+rear+shock" rel="nofollow - https://www.amazon.co.uk/FG-SHOCK-FSM11-SHOCK-APRILIA-A0M007FSM11/dp/B00OZTRI16/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1480102837&sr=8-2&keywords=Aprilia+RSV+rear+shock Looks ok but no information!! ------------- MickG |

OK found a bit more info! http://www.fggubellini.com/en/rear-shocks/78-ammortizzatore-fsm11.html" rel="nofollow - http://www.fggubellini.com/en/rear-shocks/78-ammortizzatore-fsm11.html Doesn't seem too bad and is Italian made. They seem to cater for a lot of Aprilia models too on their website. ------------- MickG |

Yes they are pretty damn good check out their steering dampers...sure they did bike specific kits of shock and fork internals that all came in foam lined aluminium flight case -------------  |

| Get a really good Nitron for that money. Or Maxton for that matter. |

I didn't think an RSV4 shock would fit. Thought they were shorter and too wide to fit in the space. Either way I've gone with a Matris K series shock- but it'll probably not arrive until the New Year now. ------------- MickG |

| Stevieonit fitted an RSV4 shock to a gen 1 Rsv last year. Said it didn't take too much work. There's a thread somewhere. |

I'd just be buying another 2nd hand shock of unknown quantity which I'd then have to spend money on getting overhauled, possibly costing around £300 all in. Well, with the deal, I was able to get a Matris K series brand new custom built rear shock for £590. This is a better deal for me as it's a known quantity. I have a spare Sachs shock from an '03 Tuono which I could have had rebuilt but I wanted a better quality longer lasting and rebuild-able option. ------------- MickG |
