I have always found the frog to be really good.

here is his daughters reply after over 2 months.

In regard to your shock, my dad has told me you have 2 choices.
1. You can have it repaired by the factory in France. The unit will be as good as new and will be covered by a new 2 year factory warranty. The delay of the turn around from your place to your place will be around 90-100 days. The cost (including freight) to and from France will be around $375.00.
2. You can purchase a new unit which will cost $650.00 including GST. Plus $30.00 for postage, handling and insurance. Please note that we do not have any in stock right now. We are hoping to receive our new shipment in around 60 days. There will be stock available then.

front shock is really good, better than OEM.
Fournales rear shocks ok, but Shotguns are far and away a better shock set-up for the rear.

Default Where to buy Fornales

I'm curious as to where you purchased the Fornales from please? The new unit is much cheaper than I can purchase one for.
