Can someone please tell me if the Technoflex rear shock for the Falco -the expensive one- has hydraulic preload adjuster? I hate messing with tools to adjust that.
Thanks

It does if you pay (a lot!) for it.
I didn't btw.

I did (but not on a Falco).

Their kit is modular, so I went for the shock, remove preload and remote hi/lo speed compression rebound.

Oh, and a height adjuster - not that it's remote of course ...

The worst shock is always the price

Thanks all
I just orderd(or ordered) one with the hydraulic preload adjuster and the height adjuster for 900 euros. Not cheap. I was thinking of waiting until last year but after you told me about the difference i will see, i just had to take it!!!
So i am going to install, Leovinci titanium pipes, FP chip, K&N air filter, Technoflex rear shock all together.....CAINT WAIT

Hammy, do you have a safehouse in case this fella from sunny Zakynthos isn't happy with the shock? The shock! The horror!

Falconas, I sure hope you know some asphalt that will allow you to explore the possibilities of your latest purchase. I sure haven't seen any decent Technoflex-suited roads when I've been to any of the islands. Best of luck to you!


Alice! Where's that commission?
