Fitted an R&G shock sock which was a reet pain!! But should keep the nasty stuff off the shock.

Last night I set up my forks as per Rogers guide, managed to get the magical 28mm after some serious mathematics :)

I have the remote one for the track bike and when I test fitted it I couldn't find anywhere to mount the bottle ,it was as if the braided line needed angel banjos on . At least on the bottle side .
Sadly I won't be taking it out for a week or so unless it's good and sunny then I'll take it for a run to work

Today I wet n dried the aluminium sleeves on my Viper cans. Got rid of all the scratches and the dull finish looks like titanium!....bonus.
I never did like the original polished finish.
Just need to weld up the downpipes and make some new can hangers.

Is that the 8mm static? Or are you setting the loaded sag?
