Nitron shocks are the badgers nadgers.One question though, is it just the camera angle or is that nut securing the shock to the linkage a little closer to the link arms?
Looks very nice. Significantly [size=78%]cheaper than an Ohlins equivalent? Which model did you go for? [/size]Looks like real tidy bike you’ve got there.
I'm surprised no-one else has commented on the complete absence of oil, grease, dirt or other crap on any single component of the bike in those photos. Seriously, when was the last time you saw the underside of a Fazer look that clean unless it was sitting new on the showroom floor?
Hi just wondering what spring rate you ended up with based on your rider weight and if you have set up your sag settings, what pre load did you end up with to get them?I just fitted an R1 and still having issues over the spring rate they recommended, also the video on there website changing the spring yourself is wrong, [size=78%]it can’t be done on this model anyway.[/size]
Hi where did you get the alloy swingarm bungs/caps from,cheers
Ooh oooooh .... so very nice. I have Nitron on my Tiger Sport.I am very tempted to do the same for the Fazer ... enjoy. Have you had the forks modified at all.P.S very clean too ... Royal Navy standard cleaning there! Top man

Rider weight with kit is 84kg, pillion weight with kit 54kg.My local supplier fitted the shock and did all the set-up for me ..... http://www.tyres4bikes.co.uk

He doesn't know yourFront rear weight balance preferenceBraking techniqueWeight transfer speed/control preference under braking and accelerationDid he ask about your tyre choices ( stiffer or softer side wall)Indeed did he ask you anything? Shock set up is not a game, your life can depend on it! You can lose the front under braking if the rebound is wrong or under acceleration if the compression is wrong.There are a million ways it can go wrong when you trust someone else with the set up. If he isn't YOUR mechanic and he hasn't spent hundreds of hours working and talking to you he can't know how to set up your shock only you can do it correctly.
Standard dog-bones or modified?
Maybe they sent you a generic form? I'm sure some riders upgrade their engines and they would receive the same form.
