Hi all.

I’m looking to sell a pair of rear shock I’ve taken of my 350 / 500

I’ve got a pair of Maxton to suit my weight plus have Maxton front fork internal

1st can any one confirm the make of these. Can’t quite tell from mark on them

Ok also how can I add pictures via this forum. I’ll do a search

The length of the 350 (300mm) is not the same as for the 500 :wink: You took it off a 350 or from a 500?

You need to use a jpeg optimiser, which can be found online, to shrink the photo to about 100kB.

R&R or similar cheapy types I think.

Thanks

I did look on both sights. And couldn’t find anything similar

Just wanted to know what I had so I could price them up accordingly

FWIW I agree with Steve here, from the pressed in markings at the bottom of these rear shocks and from the photo generally they look to be relatively basic units. I'd guess a price of £40 to £60 might suit them if someone's looking for them and if the dampers are still in good condition.

I'd be more interested in the Maxton fork internals if they'd suit a disc-braked Strada/Sport.

Hi thanks Julian.

The front fork aren’t for sale sorry.

Seeing the consensus is the rear shock are nothing special ( although in good condition) for £60 I’ll just put them in my Just in case box.

Thank for all your time.

In a 350 frame the back will rise and change a bit the geometria of the chasis.
I´ve mounted some 315 mm Konis instead of 300 Marzocchis and for me it´s ok with clipons and self-made rearsets.
