Shocks on, sidecar was the hardest to do only as it took longer than others. Will get out to test ASAP. Have left settings as Horst sent them. Hopefuly a big improvement.

I Just ordered a set of HCS shocks from Horst in Germany. So, thought I would update the process and cost for those interested. For information, these shocks are the same ones used by many of the Urals in the Diatlov Pass Video. Model CP 106. There is another model without the remote reservoir, but for purely on road use for less $$. Firstly the cost is 1200 Euro for a set of 5. Shipping is 110 Euro. So total of 1310 Euro. There is no VAT. This translated to a bit over $2040 Au.Cost of the money tranfer was $9.40.From memory the overall cost was very close to what Tvan paid last year. The process is quite simple. I used an international money transfer company called "Wise" They have banks in many countries including Australia.Bank transfer from my bank to theirs in Oz. Less than 24hrs later they have sent the equivalent in Euro to the recipient. Less than 24 hrs later they are packaged and shipped from Germany via DHL. A hugely efficient and cheap process in my opinion. Now the wait. As I understand there may be GST, but no duty.I will keep you posted when I get them. 4-7 weeks depending on Customs. Just paid $2112 used my Visa card probably would have saved using the debit card. All I need is a Ural now :-) What was the custom/GST charges 10%? Shocks came last week, no extra $ to pay. They are waiting patiently to be fitted, hopefully before I go to the US riding in July.

Had an interesting day, took my wife up to a mates place on the Sunshine Coast for a "test" ride in his 2020 Ural, good news is that she loved the experience. Ours is on a ship somewhere not expected until mid July. I showed him one of my my CP-106 shocks, he mentioned another 2022 Ural owner had problems with the reservoir touching the mounting plate of the front caliper, different shocks but similar dimensions. Did they all fit as expected?

A long way from the caliper when you fit them the correct way…..
