the weight of your ever bulging wallet Carl means an expensive shock would still be overstretched, so AP told me!!!cybercarl wrote:I ended up taking the 6mm spacer out and putting a 3mm in. I also have the forks dropped 5mm. Standard rear shockand 90% Rogered forks

missing the noise, not the vibes. However never say never!

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.cybercarl wrote:Ha ha

I will say it is not as scary as what happened to Jamies shock but when mine snapped I was an interesting few moments...

also why I get a little too pro service on the (aftermarket)shock if you don;t know its entire history.

Loud pipes don't save lives, knowing how to ride your bike will save your life.
Re: change ride hight
Yes I remember your Ohlins snapping
Anyway here's the link to what I got.

It has to be better then the OM shock
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.
