Blue rear spring

[Tomintoul]

Adam,

try here - €98 for the Spring and according to the website, €25 delivery outside Benelux, although I'd double check that with them first. About 160AUD all in.

Just had another look and they do both front and rears for €210

And less 19% Sales Tax if you live outside the EU...

Thanks Tomintoul but that did not work: I tried to get my Hyperpro from SO Products...lost a week trying to make a transaction, postage eventually is Euro45 (not 25) and impossible to pay by PayPal or credit cards !
After week of poor communication they emailed me that I have to pay bank transfer on their bank account in advance...?!
All that looks very weird to me, I would rather say it looks suspicious, dunno what is going on but I am going to stay away from SO Products...I am ordering from England.

It's a standard German thing - called an überweisung - that all businesses in Germany use, although it's unusual for one that also trades outside of Germany not to have other options in place. Nothing dodgy about it, but a major PITA if you try and do one from outside Germany.

I paid more for the springs direct from Hyperpro Holland !!!!

I have just ordered my Hyperpro here:
http://www.performanceparts-ltd.com/
Paid GBP97=AUD151 (postage to Australia included). This is probably almost AUD100 cheaper than from local-australian distributor (who does not have product on their shelf).
It took me 2 minutes to order and pay, safest-most advanced cards payment processing system with sms sent net code that I got on my mobile (from my bank) and had to confirm my authenticity by typing this code.
Purple progressive Hyperpro is on its way to my garage :-)

Glad you've managed to get the part cheaper from UK, they were good when i dealt with them also. Steve

My 2004 has same problem, the preloader has ceased to work. The cost of new preloader and replacing it is high. Ultimateparts.net in the uk. have the rally raid shock complete for £320. According to local Aprilia dealer/expert it is a better shock than the original. part number.AP8795038. Have found 2 uk websites for hyperpro, but with capo replacement. Any thoughts.

Northern kiwi. If the spring is ok on your bike, just re-build the pre-loader. It's easy and cheap to do.

Just fitted Hyperpro rear spring on original shock and Rally Raid dog bones. Did not take her on the road yet, maybe tomorrow. Bike seams to be a bit higher at back but not much-I can still use both stands..well side stand looks a bit strange but seems to support Capo safely. I have two questions:
- How to adjust Sachs now ? Knob full to the "harder" and than 4-5 clicks back or other way ? - full to soft and than 4-5 clicks to harder ?
- What to do with front ? Put some spacers inside ? (where to buy them ?). Change oil for 20 ? (I have Castrol 15 at the moment). Get Wurth progressive springs ? Get Hyperpro progressive springs ? Do nothing ?
I am 120kg heavy (will drop 15-20kg within next 3-4 months... I know I will-have done this before). I am 195cm tall
I ride to work every day and do heavy loaded trips which will be more and more unsealed roads soon. Please advice ?

[Capoandrew]

Adam, The "big knob" on the side of the bike adjusts the height of the bike. If you want to adjust the rebound, then adjust the small screw on the bottom of the shock. I would suggest with your weight, perhaps 10 clicks couterclockwise from closed.

My preload is wound right out to softest and then 5 clicks in with a hyperpro spring on standard shock . The Wurth springs i think are the same as the Touratech springs that i have in my Capo and are full length with no spacer unlike the Hyperpro which still requires the spacer, with the Touratech springs i mixed my fork oil to 12.5. 20 oil with the Hyperpros tends to be a hard ride although i think that is what Hyperpro supply. Its realy all down to what you are happy with as suspension is a personal thing and also depends on what type of surface your riding on. A change to progressive front springs whether touratech, wurth or hyperpro is a worthwhile mod. Steve
