Forza 350 rear suspension upgrade

[crofty]

Hi
Haven't posted for a while, sold my Forza 300 as i found it a bit to low and rear suspension was poor for the kind of roads I took it on. (Highlands of Scotland) Anyway thinking of the newer 350 and upgrading the rear suspension but wondered if anyone had any recommendations.
And as this forum is international has anyone tried the 350 ADV scooter and can make a comparison with the Forza 350 suspension wise ??

Buy a CRF300 Rally and spend $3000 to upgrade the suspension and the $2000 on luggage.

A scooter makes a bad dirt bike. Been there, done that, to the Yukon.

OR just slow down.

Rode one for a couple of hours. Same drawbacks suspension wise to my 300.
I put Ohlins on my 300.
Use it mostly for city riding, where the cracks, patches, and broken pavement are handled just fine.

Thanks canthai, that confirms what i thought about the new 350. Olhins eh, that sounds expensive, will check out the price, good to know they work on the bad surfaces though.

Ain't cheap - about 22,000 THB for the rear. 500 GBP
But can be rebuilt here by a shop in Bangkok so will last forever.

Thanks Canthai, i guessed they would be that kind of money, as you live in Thailand has the Forza style 350 X ADV scooter made an appearance yet ?
