Oh very nice, will probably put my own fork's Racetech shimstacks to shame Smile

Piggy bank probably emptied worse than mine, tho Wink

Vera noice, if at some point in the future you sell the FZS, you should def sell these separately, they are worth their weight in gold pressed latinum.

That's a surprisingly good price, cheaper than I thought! Is the kit both rebound & compression?Customs mauled me getting the Racetech parts in from the States, so mine worked out only slightly less.
