**yamdoot** · 01-07-2009, 03:16 AM

arnt stock gas shocks good enough? u cud mebbe try apache ones for a change..

**Nio** · 01-07-2009, 02:22 PM

Thanks for the info Yamdoot,
ya but according to bajaj the shocks of P150 & P200 are triple rate, 5step adjustable, 100mm travel(Source:mypulsar.com). But both the bikes may have different kerb weights and height ;does that affect the installation. Also yamdoot could you help provide the configuration of apache shocks?

Nio : Why you want to go for P200 shocks ?

And, have you enquired the price ?

**Nio** · 01-10-2009, 02:30 PM

@ mithun
ya on riding a P200 i felt the rear shocks a tad comfortable than my bike (though both share similar specification).I don't know abt the price exactly but i think if they are same on configuration the only price variation should be based on its colour(black); for the stock pair of P150 its 1.6K approx

U can go for pulsar 220's shocks.. But u have to cut chain guard a little.. Otherwise it will touch it.. Its footer is small compared to pulsar 150. Its spring size is bigger compared to p150.. I have fitted 220's shock in my apache 150 which is running with ZMA swingarm..

@ johnjojo08
Dats great ! how much is the cost for P220's shock? also I donn have a chain guard :P so will it be easy to fit it w/o any modification done to the bike?

**johnjojo08** · 01-11-2009, 10:57 PM

Then it will be a direct fit without any modification.. U can go for 200's open chain cover for better chain and sprocket life.. Shocks cost me around 1600/-.. All the best.. Keep rocking..

**Nio** · 01-12-2009, 11:45 AM

Thanks for the info buddy .Then could you please give me more info about the handling(including cornering) ,comfort and other changes that you felt after installing them. My main doubt about the shock is about the 'height'. If it is longer than stock shocks I think it will affect the handling negatively thats why I asked you for more details. Keep rocking too.

**johnjojo08** · 01-12-2009, 11:33 PM

I can't tell the diff in height compared to p150.. U have to check it at the time of buying from the service center.. Handling is good also comfort & ride quality..

**Nio** · 01-13-2009, 12:11 AM

@ johnjojo08 okei yaar thanks for the info, I'll soon check it out and decide my buy

**Nio** · 02-08-2009, 05:48 PM

dudes,
i got a pair of P200 shocks to replace my shocks and now the bike feels good and nice handling.
@johnjojo08
I tried with the 220 shocks but the spareguys said the 220's shock is longer and thicker and to fit it i should remove the saree guard and replace the swingarm with that of 220's

. So I junked that idea and is comfortable with 200's shocks

.

The shocks cost me Rs 1636/-(final bill including all taxes, Rs817 for each) @ Trivandrum
