There was a previous post from Maxton saying that the business climate for shipping to the good 'ol USA was not favorable. You can interpret that as cost, legal, taxes, or anything else, but one thing seems to be clear.........no Maxton.
Maybe there just still pissed we started our own country and can still carry weapons.
Go Racetech, at least you'll have one American part on your bike.
Out!

Patience grasshopper ... Doon has engaged the services of the best KTM photographer in Wanaka to assist with the mission.... so I am not allowed in
I am helping Doon and promise to give step by step pics and biased report along with Doons unbiased report.
I have to say they look beautifully made and finished, we will give run down on wire size, length and fit compared to the Marshockings so this will be the real dirt all round on what they actually are.
Thus far I am impressed with the machining and they have a much longer spring as well which we will calc the wire lengths as a comparo.
Grab a drink and we will be back to you.

Kinda redundant telling us that you're going to issue a biased report.

I emailed maxton years ago about a shock for my previous TLR. THey said they won't import to the US because we are lawsuit happy. I agreed with them and said that it sickens me as well.
