I use it mostly for commuting in Paris where its perfect.
Outside paris, i will use my others bikes.
Actually, i use a little the forza on highway, but i feel not safe, maybe cause of the soft shocks. So i dont go over 70
There is also YSS TZ362-400TR, but never see them to sell. By the way, i call my dealer, they dont know about others shock than honda :roll: And they told be about 2 hours of work ... ummm I will do myself ! Great ! https://fbcdn-sphotos-c-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpa1/t1.0-9/1907646_4194816366163_...
I have been said that the change can be done in 10 minutes, with a 14mm wrench. Umm, not so sure if the side cover has to be removed. I think i will order the YSS very soon, to find confort at slow speed in the paris bad streets. YSS TC302-400T-04-85 https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak...
You need the shocks spacer but dont know yet to find them online, its available in physical shops in bangkok.
You can lower the front fork also in same time
Set of YSS Rear Shock Absorbers for Euro 169.00. Are these any good? Has anyone in the forum tried them? http://www.bikerzbits.com/honda-forza-nss-250-300-yss-shock-absorber.html Dont know yet, but they are the best choice for the moment, i am still looking for more informations, but thats not easy...
..........i'm curious as to why you would get rid of the NC700X. I'm guessing the Forza is better in the city? Umm, NCX is already gone to another place, and that makes me very happy. Because, i dont like the engine, especially on road (more than 60 mph). The 6th speed is too long, better use the 5...
Do you want a measurement between the top and lower mounting bolts? Yes, on central stand maybe to be more accurate. Its seems that shocks on SH300 and Forza 250 are the same, so as there is not lot of choice for forza 300, i was looking for others ways. But reflex 250 is different than the forza 2...
Lot of people ride the forza in Thailand, and they have great stuff at affordable prices. Have a look ! Maybe i should go to get some Ohlins too. http://hkdatabase.free.fr/motostation/forza/forza1.jpg http://hkdatabase.free.fr/motostation/forza/forza2.jpg http://hkdatabase.free.fr/motostation/forza/...
Thats the box from my old NC700x, they were sold also for varadero. It was very expensive new (300 euros), so i keep it to use on the Forza. But here we can find the same, used, for 100-150 euros, thats finally the best option. On forza : http://moto.honda.fr/Mediatheque/Modeles/FORZA/Gal_max/max_fo...
Maybe thats too late, coz you dont have it any more.
But do you any idea if the rear shocks are the same dimensions between the two ?
I will ask my shop also.
