not wanting to slag you off virt, but taking off those iffy stickers and putting the bike back to standard has actually improved the look of your bike...
because its a rare matte black, it looks much better as standard.....
shame you couldn't keep it, but the reasons you put forward make a lot of sense mate, good luck with selling that matte black beauty, I bet lloydie had a real sh1t eating grin on his face when he fitted the ohlins....

I liked the stickers on the rear seat, the 'Force V2' ones in orange. They really made the back of the bike look like good, instead of plain and bare

Also, he did have a sh1t eating grin.. Surprisingly enough, that was the cost for him to take the Ohlins

it dose look nice clean and standard now tho we'll finish the cleaning tomorrow ready for some pics of the adds .
i still want to remove the rim tape

Only issue with it being standard is that I couldn't hear my exhausts on the way home... at all

Ohlins looks good Lloydie, you need to make a smart bracket for the remote like mine!!!( Its fitted with w s/s strap now too)

That looks good tho I wouldn't have room where mine sits

So have you ridden it yet? feel a difference?

Mine was a huge improvement.

Not yet later and hope to dial it in . The static sag is set so it's just the compression and rebound I need to play with .
I'll post up my finding later

Set it to 10 clicks back from fully in on comp and 8 clicks back on rebound as a start point, then fine tune the rebound so it feels like I set your forks, then take it for a ride to see how it feels, fine tune again from there. Feeling vague or choppy or both then reduce compression, if it feels a bit loose or soft then add some comp. hard to describe the feeling with compression but hopefully you get the idea.

Lloyd asks 'which one is which?'

Thanks bob I had a play from your base setting and it's getting better .
The rear feels much more planted over a standard shock and feels like I can hold a tighter line as long as I'm not full throttling it out if bends .

Also today gave virts storm the final clean and went to bassets hills for the photos for his sales add ,
What's the first thing the muppet go's and dose ,only rides through soft deep mud

I could off booted the git down the hills ,all that hard work undone :-(

Took some pics of kermit while we were there too
