Front "Sports Suspension" for aircooled GS
Having put an Ohlins rear shock on my R80GS Basic I decided to uprate the front suspension. Replacement forks e.g. WP upside down were discounted on cost so I considered uprating to progressive springs, e.g. WP or ProgressiveSuspension.
However, when looking through the BMW parts lists at my friendly BMW dealer I found a "Sports Suspension" listed specifically for the R80GS Basic. Not just any old sports suspension but cartridge type with compression AND rebound adjustment. Not something I'd normally expect from BMW. This comes at a price though (£350ish + VAT).
Has anyone else heard of these, are they worth it. Looks to me like a good compromise between just uprating the springs and a full Fork replacement.
Strangely, this "sports suspension" wasn't listed for any other aircooled GS model e.g R100GS even though (I assume) they have the same forks as the GS Basic.
