Yep - I did do the searches and came up empty handed or minimal info!

So......

Hopefully now getting to the final stages of decision making and placing the "order" - I've been trying to find posts and info on these GSA's suffering shock failure!

The chaps that did the Pizza delivery to UK - had quite a few shock failures as well. Looking at 'ol Charlie & Ewan - they had 3 I think....

So is this a problem with the bike's part - or is it all to do with the amount of stuff being loaded on the bike and the serious wear they suffer on Africa's finest corrugations?

Is it something ze Germans are addressing ...?

I noticed the aftermarket shock "upgrades" do the same....?

Any input/advice would be greatly appreciated.....
