The chrome on my original DT3 shocks has gone and therefore I'm looking to replace them.

Not a whole load of period looking, 320mm shocks here in the UK.

Saxmoto in Germany have some reasonably priced 325mm road shocks and so I was wondering what people's thoughts are on fitting these. Bike will be used on the street (pavement!) or gentle green laning only.

Thanks.

If you can find a road shock with a light enough spring that would work for what you are doing with your enduro I don't see a problem with it. I'm not familiar with Saxmoto, but you could check into NJB Shocks as they are made in the UK. I've rode a couple of bikes with them and they worked nicely.

Yes, "road shocks" I've come across generally have springs designed for much heavier machines.

And heavier riders..........?!

I've fitted these shocks to my DT360
Black & Chrome Remote Reservoir Motorcycle Shocks - Eye To Eye - 310mm - 320mm
Silver & Chrome Remote Reservoir Shocks - Eye To Eye - 340mm 350mm for Yamaha
They arent too stiff, the stroke is about 70mm. I charged them with nitrogen, havent had any leaks or issues in 2 years.
The longer ones are good for offroad, but need some preload added to keep from bottoming out. The short ones work well on the road with no preload, they are compliant and all the travel is used.
Yes they are cheap, so it might not be fair to compare it to a high end shock, but they work well enough for me.

 

Alan, these are the ones I put on my CT1-C, I think Dave has them on Purple Ronnie too.

They look great but are a little stiff for me.
Might suit a larger rider I'm only 12.5 stone.
I met the guy from NJB Shocks at Kempton Park autojumble, they certainly are lovely looking shocks.

Thanks for your replies folks.

So what's the difference between an "autojumble" and an "car boot sale"?  Same thing?

"So what's the difference between an "autojumble" and an "car boot sale"?  Same thing?"

In principle, yes.

At car boot sales, all and every item will be found, whereas autojumbles deal mainly with auto related items. You can also pick up vehicle parts and memorabilia at antique fairs and flea markets.

You could always swap the spring from one shock to the other. My DT3 has aftermarket shocks on. It's like riding a pogo stick down the road Al. The best ones for the cash are the Showa ones that Pete mentioned. 
NJB are the best ones by far but your between £250 £300. They are worth it but for one bike out of a garage full of bikes that's probably never going to see real off road then £120 inc delivery is much better to swallow.

On the subject of car boots and auto jumble. I think back to when i thought Americans went to a swamp meet. I thought that sounded real secretive. How disappointed was i when you told me it was swap meet.
