Reactive Suspension - Accessories
Reactive Suspension offer a wide range of motorcycle accessories, Shock Socks to protect shocks from corrosion and stone damage, Preload Bearing Kits making adjustment easier and Ride Height Shim Kits, essential for ride height adjustment with standard shocks.
Listed here are just some of the accessories we have available. If you can't find what you require please Contact Us.
Traxxion Dynamics Shock Sock
The shock sock is a cover for the rear shock protecting it from corrosion and preventing stone chips in the shaft. It is constructed from a breathable nylon material, and installs in seconds with a simple Velcro closure. Available in three sizes to fit all types of shock and spring combinations. Please measure your bike's spring, and select the length needed.
Pre-Load Bearing Kit
This is a simple to install accessory that will make preload adjustments on all threaded collar adjustment shocks substantially easier. The bearing fits between the spring and the preload collar eliminating the friction between the two, requiring much less effort to move the collar.
Ride Height Shim Kit
An essential kit for use with standard shocks that are not equipped with a ride height adjuster. The Ride Height Shim Kit is a set of three anodised colour-coded aluminium shims, that install between the frame and the upper shock mount, the Red shim is 2mm, Blue 3mm, Black 4mm giving combinations of 2,3,4,5,6,7 and 9mm of added ride height.
Kits are available with an internal diameter of 20mm to fit all GSXR's, 16mm to fit most Kawasaki's and 14mm to fit R1/R6's, please measure the diameter of the shock mount bolt to order the correct size.

Penske Fingertip High Speed Adjuster
This CNC-machined adjuster allows you to move the high-speed compression adjuster on the Penske 8987 shock without tools. It fits remote reservoir shocks where the hose enters from the side and all piggyback shocks.
Traxxion Dynamics Preload Collars
CNC-machined from aluminium for light weight, and anodised for protection, the collars are supplied with a peg tool that slides into the radial holes to turn the collar and a bearing that sits between the spring and the collar allowing it to turn easily.
Collars are available for Penske, Ohlins and Suzuki GSXR shocks.
Reservoir Clamps
Rubber reservoir mounts to prevent vibration and stainless clamps to mount remote reservoirs to bikes and quads.
Penske Lower Preload Adjuster Kit
On bikes with heavily braced swing arms it is often necessary to remove the shock to adjust the preload. This kit fits on to the bottom of the shock which is more accessible allowing the preload to be adjusted with the shock in place.
Shock Warmer
A dampers purpose is to absorb energy and convert it in to heat. Heat affects damping in a number of ways, oil viscosity changes becoming thinner as the temperature rises, heat also changes the density of the fluid due to expansion, and mechanical tolerances also change with temperature.
Manufacturers incorporate temperature compensation devices into their dampers which are effective at higher temperatures typically above 60°C. However track testing has revealed that it can take anywhere from 4 to 10 laps to reach this temperature dependant upon operating conditions. Shock dyno testing carried out by ourselves and Penske Racing Shocks has revealed that damping force can decrease by 10% during this warm up period. This means that the damper operation at the start of a race will be much stiffer than at the end of the race.
Pre-heated shock absorbers will ensure consistent damping performance throughout a race, improve tyre wear and increase rider confidence.
The warmer simply wraps around the shock body and fastens with Velcro. It will heat the shock to 60°C in 45 minutes, and is fitted with a long loop for quick removal.
It is available in two lengths for coil-over and non coil-over shocks.
