Hi,

 

Just wanted a breif opinion on fournales shocks?

Thinking of getting a set for my 2008 Street Bob.

thanks

Vlad

Yep, i've got them & FUCKIN LOVE 'EM.
I was going to change them for shorter progressives but just put a lowering block kit on instead.
Fournales are the bomb.

What model have you got Pappa Smurf? What length?

Do you mind if I ask where you got them from and how much???

Have you also got an optional pump?

Not 100% sure on the model as they were on the bike when i bought it.
Length is 13 inches & no, i don't have the pump but the bloke that does my servicing does.
I do believe that they are a bit more expensive than most others but EVERYONE that saw them on the bike said i was fuckin mad for wantiing to take them off.
Gotta agree now.

 Fournales are the goods mate. Have had 3 sets on 3 different bikes. 

Word of warning though.................The only Aussie distributor is a thieving bastard (just compare his prices to anywhere else in the world!!) and good luck trying to buy elsewhere......near impossible!

Thanks Burto.
Already did compare the prices. Bloody unbelievable. Do you know where I can get them from for a reasonable dollar?

 Sorry mate, got mine from England earlier this year, but he told me the factory won't let him send anymore to Aus! He can send to anywhere in Europe but not Aus.

Somethin fishy goin on with a certain frog down in Tassie!

I just gote a quote from that "certain tassie frog". The price is cool $1600 delivered. Now if this is not a daylight robbery, then I don't know what is..

Exploring my options at the moment....

What shock length did you end up getting Burto? Was it a straight fit?
Hilly - What pressure do you normally run your Fournales at?

 Running 13bar (about 190psi) on Fatbob. Ride one up 85kg.

Used to run 15bar as advised but found it too hard.......13bar feels good for me.

hi i have a set of fourneles in good condition came of a  99  .dont  know if they will  fit but  asking around  800 .they do a  classic and the larger magnum  these are magnums.

thanks for the offer kend, but I would rather a brand new set and I doubt that 99 would fit 2008 anyway.
Cheers

Had a set on my 06 Dyna, great ride but shit the price is a bloody ripoff. gotta be serviced every year or so as well. That costs and to be honest I think it's a bloody ripoff. Half the price in UK.

once you get pressure right there good but old froggie s got the selling rights in oz stitched up ,no competetion .

 Looks like we pay Double the Euro List

Some of us have looked at buying from UK.... believe that the frog visits this site and had Fournales tell at least one outlet in the UK that they were not allowed to ship to Oz.

Here's a semi Aussie product, I say "semi" as the parent company is in Thailand.
But the shocks he sells here are made just north of Adelaide, I bought a pair for my Thruxton at the start of the year, top notch gear imo.

Guys, I own a HD parts and accessories business over here in the UK and I regularly ship to Oz.
I am also an authorised Fournales reseller and despite a certain person allegedly having exclusive rights to the Australian teritory I fail to see how anyone can stop you ordering online from anywhere for delivery anywhere.
The pricing in the table above from MAWS in the UK is a little out of date but it is close enough to give you an idea of what I can supply these shocks to you for.

Just visit www.4hd.net and enter fournales in the search box and you will see the entire product range.
Unfortunately my site only accepts GBP, USD or Euro for payment but we do give the best exchange rate available on the day.
Shipping to Australia for a set of shocks is typically around the £35 mark for a 4 day service (which is usually delivered in 48 hours from past experience).
I have a lot of customers in Aus and NZ and with over 500,000 product lines for Harleys, everything from show chrome nuts and bolts to complete kit bikes, I'm sure I have something you'll want
If you can't find what you are looking for, just drop me an email via the website and I'll sort it out for you.

Oh and as a little sweetener, if you register as a paid up member rather than a free member (i.e. take up a bronze or silver membership before you place an order) I'll boost your membership up to the next level for free. This offer will only run until December 16th 2011 and all you need to do is add a note to the comments box when you place your membership order saying something like "Guns told me to get my membership upgrade" and I'll sort it out for you.

Ride safe

 Around $800 for a set of Magnums delivered to your door!.............half the price the frog will charge!!!!!!

Well done Gun!!!

But I'd be tempted to get in quick Fellas...............before the Frog jumps on this sweet deal as well!!!!!!!!!!

The best shocks money can buy............for a reasonable price!!!

Burto.

You are very welcome chaps
I fail to see how Fournales can accept Le Frog's terms for being the only disty in the area.
Just had an enquiry from one member off here so hopefully we can hlp more people out before Le Frog causes problems lol

The frog overcharges for them, my brief sad to say, absolutely ridiculous for a pair of shocks for a bike, especially some others that will do just as good as far less(My opinion).

Have had Ikons & Progressive,Ohlins, and as for the price of fournalies, I really wonder if they are worth it compared to what you would pay for other items.

I am a big fan of  ikon, had them on all my last three bikes and believe they make  A great product, progressive also very very good but can get expensive as you climb the chain of shocks(still cheaper than forurnalies)

But really is the expense ( no harm intend to Fournalies believers or users.) of these shocks worth what they are, or is that they are advertised as landing gear to some planes & flash ads in magazines we all read ???????Does that make them available to be charged at ridiculous amounts?????? No Fnnnnn Way .

 

My Opinion & I think I am entitled to it.

Cheers
