Trident shock

Much 2-up commuting combined with the pot-holed roads of Oxfordshire and
the speed bumps down my street have finally taken their toll on the rear
shock of my '92 Trident.
Can anyone recommend any particular rear shock replacement? Preferably
something that will cope with the conditions mentioned above.

 

Get the OE one rebuilt by Maxton. Cheaper and better.

 

Thanks. Do you mean these?

They look rather expensive.

 

No! I meant "Get the OE one rebuilt" - in other words, they take your
existing shock, strip and rebuild it, often better than new and to your
own weight/riding style. Costs £150 or thereabouts.

 

Ah, I see, thanks. I'll look into it, then.

 

Have a squint on ebay.

Been a couple of newish shocks on there recently fro a song.

 

Hagon do very good replacements. I got one for the FJ last year, and it
transformed the handling somewhat.
