I can't see how it could have made it's own way to the storage space under rear of seat though?

Nope - that's one that is on my list to do.

« Last post by Alexander_V on 28 May 2024, 05:01:17 pm »Hello guys,
Thanks for all the replies and comments. I decided to go with the Andreani Misano Evo Fork Cartridge Kit in the end. I think if I am keeping the bike and I want to upgrade it good, I can spend the money, I will try these out. I am actually very excited about that as this is the first upgrade I am doing to my mike. Next one and it won't be long is the rear shock of course.
Thanks again guys.
Cheers

A set of progressive springs to cater for you weight and all riding options with 10w Synthetic oil will usually sort the front. A reasonably priced Hagon Shock at the rear with a progressive spring again to cater for your weight and all riding options will fix the rear.Switch to Sports tyres or the new type good Sports Touring tyres.
These were actually there in the bike, progressive forks (not sure if stock) and 10w oil. I kind of want better performance in high speed bumps so I was considering the two options.
Because I really like this motorcycle I would like to improve it wherever possible and am planning on keeping it for good.

My large top box is at least half full most of the time though, and i'm not exactly the smallest build physically.
So I changed it last spring and used 10w oil. I am around 87 with bike clothes on, I carry no luggage and ride with no passengers.. Pure fun only hahah
