when I got this bike the front preload was on full with rebound full in minus 1/4 turn.
Shock preload was on std with rebound on full minus about 1/2 turn.
Felt hard as fook my eyeballs were bouncing, handled ok tho.
On my previous yellow preferred the back shock std with front preload on 3 and rebound std.
now I've reset everything on the silver it feels like shite.
We shall see when the newuns are in.

Well after all the deliberation with what to do. Ive put it up for sale. Even after the Great ride yesterday we have decided we need a Tourer this year. I can't keep both and the car. So the CB is up for sale and aim looking for a Sports Tourer.

Eeerg! How can you guys sell your bikes? They are part of the family and that Honda was the prettiest machine on this forum, bar none!

Pulled the back end off the rider TRX, the wheel, hugger, C&S, caliper, brake hose and shock (R6) are destined for the currently SORNed spare bike. Fitted a slightly shorter adaptor to the shock which raises the rear end slightly.

Wish I was Andy! Miles behind, as the wife had me running us between Somerset and Portsmouth all weekend so only had a couple of hours.
