Shock Absorber Type 642 Competition
The Wilbers suspension solution improves fork response by replacing the stock linear springs with progressive ones; the second spring rate provides greater reserve. At the rear, a slightly stiffer spring combined with optimized rebound and compression damping yields a wider adjustment range than the original shock. Suspension geometry front and rear is refined via negative spring travel for balanced handling.
The ultimate shock configuration: a milled upper mount links to the compression reservoir and integrates high- and low-speed compression adjusters (22 clicks each). A pressure-relief valve prevents hydraulic lock and unwanted jolts. Rebound is adjustable externally in 22 clicks; spring preload is infinitely variable.
Product may vary from picture.
spring preload, compression and rebound damping adjustable. Hydraulic preload adjuster is recommended.

Perfect fit, perfect replacement for the factory Showa. 1993 BMW R100R rides like new again!
Very high-quality shocks. Pricing is reasonable for what you get. Super easy install. Highly recommend.
I tried two after market rear shocks on my‘23 Road Glide and wasn’t pleased at all with either set. My wife gave me an evil eye when I-told her I had ordered another set (3rd set) of shocks. About an hour into our first ride on the Wilbers she acknowledged the Wilbers were a huge improvement.
The shocks are very easy to install and make the ride as smooth as can be.
Fantastic upgrade that really improves the ride.
Can’t rave enough about the set-up! Two weeks after installation, I went on a 9 day ride from Staten Island NY to Key West FL and back, with various stops in between. The bike handled so smoothly, it was the best long ride i ever had. Never bottomed out either! I’ve been recommending the Wilber’s Nivomat suspension & EPM Performance to everyone I meet. Thank you.
What a great product. So much better than stock. Easy set up and go. No more 3 different adjustments.
