My Nitron sport shock arrived today, Woo Hoo!!
It's one quality piece of engineering and I can't wait to install it this week.
It's a one way gas mono-shock with a separating piston, so the oil and gas doesn't mix (like emulsion shocks) and the shock doesn't fade after sustained use.
Nitron recommended this shock to me for fast street riding and track days.
Apparently they have race bikes with the sport shock fitted so I though for $586 AUD delivered, why not give it a try.
It is sprung and valved for my weight and it's height adjustable so I've asked them to set the shock at 325mm in length, eye to eye (320mm stock)
This was Lee from Traxxions recommended settings for the FZ1 and it is supposed to assist turn in and handling in general.
Once I fit it up and go for a ride, I'll post my findings.
Here are a few pics:
