Need a 5mm shim for shock.

Post by Phimosis »

As in title, I returned the rear shock to standard by removing the shim, just to see what difference it made and the fact that the bottom of the suspension linkage wa just touching the exhaust, well the thing is unrideable, like a barge on a canal, ruined my day out, anyway, I lost the bloody thing hence requiring a new one, I will try a 5mm instead of 6mm this time if anyone can supply, I will pay into your bank account by direct transfer.

Just pop down your hardware/fixings shop and buy some big washers totalling to the desired thickness, and fit them.

or contact the seller of these to see if they can turn out a 5mm version
