Aftermarket Shocks for R65
« on: September 02, 2008, 11:56:33 PM »
I'm still looking for aftermarket shocks for my R65.  The Ikon website doesn't offer shocks for BMW's.  Anyone have a source for this item?  Google didn't turn up anything useful.

Hi there, I myself am looking for new or new used shocks. I went to my local mechanic, and he had a set of Ikon's for $325 for parts (7610-1427). I also found Hagon's for $200 on capitalcycle. I'm still investigating into what the cheapest vs optimal option is. I think there's still a few other shocks available out there (Ohlins, Boge?) but for the price points and your use of the bike are things to consider.
