You're sounding a bit peeved off Stu :!: missing out on Kaz's RSV, perhaps she thought your bike was a bit too personalised and would always be known as Yellafella's :!:

I will say that your bike does look pretty good even though I'm not really a fan of yellow bikes :wink:

Nice one Kaz, good to see you with a big smile on your face love. :wink:

Yella is the best colour, i'm sure you'll get it sorted to just the way you like it, and the shock and forks are an added bonus, pey the money to get it sorted to suit you, it'll be worth it in the end.

Penske do two options with the shock
-a short hose which mounts on the subframe rails on the left side
-a long hose with the resevoir under the seat

The one I bought had a long hose but I didn't want it under the seat so routed the hose under the battery box and mounted it on the right subframe

Is it the same looking as yours or has yours got a hexagonal adjuster on the top instead of my gold one?
it's running Dunlop sportsmax 207's. I've never had any experience with these... what about you lot?
Not keen personally but they're not bad
They are not nearly as good in the wet/cold as Bridgestones or Pirelli's
They take a bit longer to warm up
They're a bit pointier than the Bridgestones and Pirelli's so you get a sharper tip in

the yellow on the hugger does not match the bike at all.. it's a totally different colour
Bens top tip
Don't clean it so much and you'll never notice :lol:
