I just parted out my 855. I have 2 Risse shocks that are barely used.

I have the Genisis that was on my Girvin fork and the Astro 5 that was on the rear.

Hi Banger,

How much for both shocks and the pump? Send me a pm if you like and we can discuss shipping etc.

Cheers, Lee

Thought I should ask before purchasing... will both of the above mentioned shocks fit/attach to my Proflex 857 (i.e. remove Noleen coil/oil shocks and attach the Risse) or do I need any special parts to attach the Risse?

Cheers, Lee

Oracle,

I'm not sure of the fitmit between the 855 and 857. I guess you could email Risse and ask them if it is a direct fit or if you need an adapter.

They wont fit without a special adapter guy's here on the forum sell them, The 855 was an odd year as far as the rear strut goes~ so one for an 855 wont directly fit an 856,x57.x58

Thanks for the update seanzzo. Do you know the names of the guys who sell the adapter?

Thanks.

I think the freedom adapter for the x56 by risse will let the 855 shock fit the 857

I'd still love to get that Astro 5 for mine [smiley=nod.gif]

[smiley=laughing.gif] ;)Yes Yes Yes the Risse astro-5 is mine at last

Sean, just got back from the post office. Your shock and pump shipped via USPS Priority mail.

You should have it within 2 to 3 days.

Enjoy!

BTW: I still have a Risse Genisis shock available if anyone is interested.

Barry.

Has anybody here sent and actually recieved an email reply from Risse? I've now sent them two emails to no avail! [smiley=disbelief.gif]

Hi Lee,

Apparently they don't do Emails. Anyway, I have to call them for some more work on my Genisis. It is more responsive than before, but I just want it a little more comliant.

I have found that I need to leave a message in the service department. They are pretty good at returning my calls.

I will ask them about an Oz distributer.

I checked with Risse on any other distributers. They don't have any distributers in either Uk or Aus.

I did get an R.A. # right away from Robert at Risse.
They seem to want to keep working on my Genisis to suit my comfort. That is nice.

the Risse astro-5 got it today look's great was there any paperwork with this

banger · « **Reply #28 on:** May 12, 2006, 11:31:49 pm »

Yeah, I'll have to dig around my garage files to see if I can find it.

Mean while I'm going to call Risse and see if they have a pdf for this shock.

Barry.

Found all of the paper work for the shocks.

I'm making a copy to give to the person who buys the Genisis.

I'll get this in the mail to you on Monday morning.

Barry
