which is best G-max or Apex there both in my price range (about £200) or are ther better kits for around that price i did want spax VSX kit but it is not available for the 899cc cinq according to the places ive rang.

899 and sportings have interchangeable springs and shox. Spax will fit.

899's sit higher to start with, so it'll lower yours by more than 40mm.

I'd go for the cheaper Apex kit, I know a few who have them and are happy. Fitted a few too.

The black one had saggy old Spax springs on, it's been raised up a bit now as it's just unuseable sitting on the floor. The handling was crap too.
