Have you ever heard of this company or any idea how good/bad this rear shock is?

Doesn't seem too bad and is Italian made. They seem to cater for a lot of Aprilia models too on their website.

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.

They are good quality but as said you can get a nitron or maxton for that with uk backup and support uk industry.

I'm off to the bike show on Sunday so will be eyeing up the likes of Maxton,Nitron or look at getting one of my Sachs units overhauled/ modified by the likes of Brook Suspension, Falcon, MCT, Kais and the likes........

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.

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.
