While the KW V3 is a "Twin Tube " shock it is a very inexpensive Emulsion type of shock absorber. Completley different than the Ohlins TTX Twin Tube shock. Why do some KW V3’s have a “reservoir” and some do not? The reason why some V3’s have the “reservoir” and some don’t is for a couple of...

Really a steel body may be better. The aluminum can change shape much easier due to heat and or pressure, than the steel body. We are seeing this exact problem with the inner Aluminum sleeve on the TTX Twin Tube design Ohlins shocks.

I was able to have the Japanese Ohlins Dist build these. They had done a number of these so they were familiar with what was needed. Neither Ohlins USA or Ohlins Sweden had ever made any. The cost was either $2500 or $3500 7 years ago, I do not recall. I was able to choose between Std, Type...

That is great to know all these different types of shocks are available for the NSX. Who makes each of these for the NSX?? Any pictures or links?? Thanks.

I do not know what design these other shock are. I would assume they are, just as the stock shocks are the same design. And most tires are the same design as one another. Being the same basic design does not mean they work the same. It is the details of the design that make one work better...

I had Ohlins custom make a set of shocks and they are still on the car today. Dan

I am in Carmel. Blue 2002 I did see a silver 2002-06 at the Del Monte Shopping center one day, in the movie threatre parking lot. Was that you??

Here are the two short versions of what BST did in each of the two cases, again anyone wanting to see the full test report email me at [email protected]. P.S. Sorry to actually post facts on the internet and name the source, I relize that is not the way it is done on the internet. Hello...

One thread on the internet goes a long way. This is the same thread as in the MV forum, see answer below: The second link, the wheel was send to a South African University to see what caused the wheel to fail, they not BST determinded the wheel had NOT failed before the guys crash, it failed...

"At just over double the price of the standard, no question the Volk mags are awesome. I suppose I opened a can of worms, however the truth be told this very topic can be debated until the cows come home. Here's another 11 page thread on the Agusta forums whereas they proceed down that very path...

As Carbon wheels have been on motorcycles for many years, there already is the technology to know what is needed "to resist the effects of UV, corrosives, brake dust, etc..." . Lets not forget, there have been carbon carbon brake discs and pads around for more than 15 years. The temps that...

It was a stock RC51, that was later put on a dyno by one of the motorcycle mags. Nothing special. An RC51 is maxed out as 165MPH. Shows how inaccurate the officers speed measurement was. There are many motorcycles that will do 180 plus off the showroom floor. All the Japanese manufactures...

That would be me.

Sato Rear sets?

Honda owns Showa, so it is pretty rare you ever see anything other than a Showa shock on anything made by Honda.
