    Holy shit.

    Presumably having something like that sprung on you hasn't dampened
    your enthusiasm for these shocks?

    ISTR they were for BMW K-Series.

    I'm seriously thinking about getting one for the Pan as its rear shock
    has definitely seen better days, but my wallet has seen better days as
    well.

    TOG's selling MOT'd SOBs for less..

    I had them on.... oh, some Italian bike I owned. Must have been a Guzzi.
    They had sort of sealed rubber bladders inside the remote bit. Which
    split. They were utter crap.

    I had a couple of dozen new Fournales shocks, but they were all
    monoshock units.

    I have seen twin-shock Fournales units, but very rarely, and only in
    France.

    Dunno about the Concorde, but Fournales, afair, are suppliers of
    suspension legs on a lot of light aircraft.

    Indeed, which is why I'm considering one - I can't see myself selling Pan
    any time soon.

    They look very similar to the piggyback shocks on the Zephyr

    I think we're flogging Kahlua. I haven't read the press release
    properly yet.

    I'd better finish the bottle off and buy another so you benefit soon.
