Title: 856 suspension parts supplier in UK????
Post by: lewism3 on May 23, 2011, 06:49:04 am

Hi

Haven't posted on here for literally years!!! Have decided to give the old 856 a dusting off and service. I was going to order a set of COR springs from Rapid Decent Scotland, however it looks like they have stopped selling parts nearly a year ago!!!

This of course leads me into my problem. Does anyone know where I can find either replacement elastomers (front/rear) or an alternative within the UK? Failing this of course I could order internationally but still stuck for contacts.

Any advice is appreciated, otherwise you may see a 856 World Series on eBay UK soon!!!

Your 856 is a great bike. J6Noleen in California still sells Noleen shocks for it. Risse makes a great rear shock also.

I will second that and add that they have front shocks for some of tbe Vector and Crosslink forks as well.
