Yes, might as well give it a go. Soon as I can pick up my Abba stand from up north - don't suppose anyone between London and Brighton has one for a lend?

Tried fitting the ZX6R shock, won't fit due to the top mounted reservoir catching on the reg/rec - with that out of the way it was still about 1.5mm out. I could cut the battery box but then it's getting a bit silly.......
