the weight of your ever bulging wallet Carl means an expensive shock would still be overstretched, so AP told me!!!

Ha ha

I still have that speed triple Ohlins knocking around so I think that will be going on. Jamies shock breaking is kinda pushing me into it. It keeps playing on my mind when riding the bike.

Just make sure to look after the lower joint on the aftermarket shocks.
I will say it is not as scary as what happened to Jamies shock but when mine snapped I was an interesting few moments... :eek2
also why I get a little too pro service on the (aftermarket)shock if you don;t know its entire history. :wink:

Yes I remember your Ohlins snapping :eek2 Anyway here's the link to what I got.

It has to be better then the OM shock :lol: I find the rear either to hard or too soft. I'm caught with either the 1st or 2nd adjustment slot. At least with the Ohlins I can get it in the middle somewhere between the two.
