Thanks to Luke for his advice and supplying the shock and dog bones. Fitted the shock yesterday, took about half an hour, when I told the wife what I was going to do she thought I'd be in the garage for hours! I set the front forks to standard settings then dropped the yokes down 10mm as per Luke's recommend settings. Well that has definitely changed the way the bike handles, noticeable straight away from accelerating, there's no sag or squatting so it feels great coming out of corners. I may just need a small tweak on the rear compression damping as I did get a bit of bounce as I was accelerating hard down a fairly uneven country lane, but other than that the bike is where I want it to be. A mod well worth doing, you can really get hold of the bike and throw it around much more easily than before, it feels lighter and more nimble in my opinion. Ivan's kit being fitted by Mike at the end of the month, what more could you want from a bike?
