Re: rear suspension - Dead Eye - 16-01-13
The rear suspension has a sort of ring near the top with notched groves beneath it that it slots in to. They get incrementally higher to provide different levels of pre-load - its quite hard to explain so I'll try and get a photo for you tomorrow when its light outside

cheers dead-eye, has the rest of the bike gone now ?
Re: rear suspension - Dead Eye - 16-01-13
Nope, but it's been dragged out of the garage as the contractors are slowly beginning to start work.
I'm looking in to buying a replacement regardless of what my bank says (that's what Credit Cards are for right?
) and if so then my old one may yet be able to provide some parts. One I'm looking at has quite badly rusted original downpipes and potentially a clutch on its way out. So I still have my stainless steel pipes and I can hopefully whip out the clutch from my old bike. Not that I'm going to tell the seller these things, I want bargaining points!
