Bought some new bling. Haven't purchased anything other than petrol so far, I'd say she deserves some nice things now. She's already on over 1000 miles

It won't

Strangely, most of the things that I enjoy doing never seem to end, they just evolve over time costing me a small fortune in the process

. Still, your only here once, might as well enjoy it

Gave it a good thrashing along the A303 on the way back from DevonStorm 2015...

Washed it, rode it for 50 miles, got home, wished I hadn't washed it (fly carnage)

Then bought a Hagan rear shock

and a e clip to replace the missing one I lost holding the dynojet needle in place !! (I got 4 just in case)

Why would you want a rear shock made of Ice Cream ?

Had a little play with the fighter today. I cleaned and fitted the headers and fitted some orange led strips to each side of the frame on the inside top rail and fitted the ignition to the top yoke so the steering lock works correctly as it failed before

Removed the pannier racks and boxed them up with my spare top box rails ready to go off to the powder Coaters .

had a visit from carlos, and finally gave my bike a wash, noticed it's picked up a few more stone chips since last week....

I've been suffering from head pains for the last few days, having got badly sunburnt head from playing golf.......

I've got a hat, but I ain't got a blackbird....

They should be able to service your forks (and respring if required) but don't think they can do much with the original factory shock.

I have never really heard a good word said about standard rear shocks. I know there is only limited adjustment , is that what the issue is with it or is it just sh1t ??
