I had been wanting to upgrade the rear shock on my Shiver. I happened to notice the US $ is pretty strong against the Euro so I started looking at ordering a shock from somewhere in Europe. I ended up ordering a Matris shock from Carpimoto. It is their lower end model but I got it for $500 shipped. I haven't received it yet so I can't comment on the shock but I'm very happy with the price.

That sounds interesting. What do you think of the Shiver? You certainly don't see them around much.

It is a very comfortable, sporty standard. Lots of leg room and easy on bad knees. It has enough power to be fun, well at least for me. It's one of those bikes that seems to urge you on. It can be the devil on your shoulder telling you to do it, do it harder, do it faster!

Some people have welded up custom mounts for hard luggae and have made a light weight sport tour out of them. If i didn't have my Guzzi set up with a big shield and hard luggage, I might would set mine up like that.

I considered doing that myself a couple years ago but wasn't able to determine the tank range of the bike. Seemed it might be 100-120 miles, which is too small for my tastes
