Default Shocks, polybushes, etc

Where do people get their shocks from and what types and ratings are they using? Also same questions for polybushes and bolts etc.
Trying to shop about a bit.

Thanks,
Doug.

The usual option was calling up Dampertech and asking for a set of Gaz shocks for the Haynes Roadster. They know the default specs and their prices seem to be very competitive.

Hi Doogle,

How serious are you about the shocks, I could ask for a set to be added, they're making 68 for me so why not 72

I could also do a set of poly bushes at the same time for a good price drop me a line at component-sales@hotmail.co.uk or contact us via the website www.3gecomponents.com

Where about on the Island are you? I used to bike alot over there mostly around Carisbrooke area. We had some great times there

Kind regards

John
