Great video bro

[@silverredgodhotmail]

Btw awesome post and thanks

[@kevindarkstar]

Good looking shocks, hope they ride as good 👍🏻

[@NickCaliThai]

I hope so also. Review coming soon. So far so good.

[@jimmybonello3647]

It seems great, l think that I'm going to have a chance for them

[@frankstocker5475]

What a shock!!!!

[@NickCaliThai]

What's up frank I will post a review soon. Thanks for watching and suscribing to My channel

[@mlioulia]

Thanks for the info you provided in regards to replacing the rear shocks. The original Honda are made by Showa, a company owned by Honda and they worth around €500 for replacement as a spare part! They definitely are a pain in the @ss and although they are good to go for city commuting, if you spend more than half an hour on the saddle, they are as hard as it gets, although I have them on level one now, I will eventually replace them with YSS TZ 302 model, hopefully next week, cause they are indeed rubbish as far as comfort is concerned, although they handle well on the road but Boy, they are rough and unworthy!

[@ferdinanddekeersmaeker1686]

Thank you for the quick reply. At the end of December I will be back in Belgium to collect my new honda forza 350 we are now in Spain. I'm little bit afraid that the original suspension is to weak for carry 2 persons, that was the case with my piaggio 300. But are the red suspensions strong enough, that they not every time go to the final when I cross speedbump. Sorry for my poor English, I'm not on the whisky or drug. My comon language is Dutch.

Γεια σου Μαριαλένα. Ζήσιμος εδώ από την ομάδα Honda Forza/Adv 350 Club Hellas. Τελικά πως είδες την αλλαγή τον πίσω αμορτισέρ σε σχέση με τα μαμά; Αξίζει; Μήπως κοπανάει περισσότερο; Περιμένω την απάντηση σου. Αν δεις έβαλα αντίστοιχο ερώτημα στην ομάδα. Πήρα κι εγώ το γκρι Forza εδώ και μία εβδομάδα και είμαι κατανθουσιασμένος.

Nick , don't forget a little locktite on the bolt and set them up at the correct torque settings ..... you dont want one of those bad boys coming loose ...😉

[@NickCaliThai]

Thanks for the info m8, I had them tighten up super good for sure Did a test run on them and they seems ok. Checked the bolts and they seems ok. I think I will maybe put some lock right on them just in case. Good idea Thanks.

[@pedropessoa594]

hello red cowboy. the new dampers look fantastic. matches the bike that is red. I hope they make all the difference, both in safety and comfort. really honda bumpers look like garbage. I want to see the video with the test of the behavior of the bike with this change. hug

YSS, ODX, Gazi RX. Seem to be the top choices , but no reviews in English .... And a big price difference . Any advice ??

[@NickCaliThai]

It's hard to say. I got the RCB and only because it was referred from some forza people who bought them and where happy . Yss is popular also. The rcb have extra coils for you can swap if your a heavy rider. Hard to say m8 but anything u get will be better then the original forza shocks lol. Keep me posted

Hey bro, i got myself a brand new forza 350 last week , loving it so much compared to my pcx125 but like you i feel like the rear shocks are so crap, i'd say similar or even worst compared to PCX... I want to ask you if changing them for those if it really makes a difference and its a well wasted money? Keep it up watching all your vids about the forza 💪

It's worth it. I would do both front and rear. But rear would be first.

Hi Nick, You say you checked some reviews, can you tell me why you choose the RCB over the YSS at very similar prices? Thanks, Chris

[@NickCaliThai]

I just liked the fact that they had 2 different springs that I was able to change depending on what comfort of a ride I wanted. Bike runs great . Shocks have been amazing.

Why did you choose this brand? I think I would have a nice ride up to Honda, they'd probably fit them for free, but still worth a fiver of their time in this heat.

[@NickCaliThai]

It was imported from Malaysia and I read a few reviews which seemed good. They come with extra could adjustable springs and the ability to change the oil in the shock. To me that was a plus. I have a few yes shocks on my other bikes and felt that it might be good to try something new. Oh and why did I install instead of giving the work to Honda, well it's fun and the weather up north is not that bad. Thanks for watching and suscribing to My channel

I have a ceiling fan overhead and a stand fan next to me in my office with the windows open to the sea at nearly 9.00pm, and I'm sweating. We'd join you up North, if it wasn't for Covid and the smoke. If we could travel I'd be back in UK for the Spring time. Going to order my Forza tomorrow, then it'll be the same game as you've had with yours. Fingers crossed the restrictions get lifted, and things settle down for my planned trip in August / Sept. Look forward to update on the performance improvements with your new shocks. Cheers Chris.

I test drove the old Forza 300, on a 5-day hire over 1,000+kms, and was impressed with that. The extra bit of power was the clincher, and the fact the X-ADV was so hot between the legs, plus you can't beat the comfort and the boot space.
