What do they cost Hippo? Is there a front spring kit to go with them? Im itching to try the Ikons next time around.

I looked at them, also Penske but decided ultimately to have some custom fitted Ohlins, ala Radar's fine sled. All three are great alternatives to OE shocks.

AUD$665.00 for the black ones .A little dearer for the chrome ones.

I've had them for 3 years. Still happy. Their customer service rocks!

well thats good to hear.My email exchanges on enquiries were very prompt in reply. BTW , if you get 13" shocks from them,(1/2" over the height of a stock R3) theyre the same OEM height for the Roadster, if you ever consider updating to the Roadster.

Hell, If I was going to "update" I'd select a V-Max or a Diavel. Both can smoke a stock R3, but both cost substantially more. Lots of great bikes out there...why stay with only one brand???

I know those 2 bikes have their fans,but the R3 is much more of an all round bike. Many of the owners on here are quite tall and feel like a gorilla on a circus bike on anything but an R3.
Their ability to "smoke a stock R3"is not by a huge margin and it might be doubtfull if you loaded them both up with a pillion and 50kgs of luggage,or towing a trailer.
When some sports bike idiot offers to race me ,I say ok ,but with a full load and over 5000klms.The offer is usually followed by a loud silence.
