I am on my third Af Twin rear shock. The first lasted 40,000+ KMs. 17K of which were off road in Africa. My luggage weighs in at around 90kg I weigh 85kg.
The second shock (original Honda) lasted just a few thousand ks the third lasted just a few thousand too!! Re loads, the weight since Africa is less and the roads generally better??!! I reckon that Honda's supplier have reduced the build spec. since the 1999 model.... perhaps some one can confirm or denie this?
I am trying to get my hands on an Ohlins.
I reckon it would be better to switch straight to an Ohlins after the first one fails....
