Glad you're happy with the shock Darrsi, it was a bit too firmly sprung & damped for me but it sounds like it's probably not far off an ideal set-up for you.

As you probably noticed i'm a couple of pounds heavier than you so it does feel pretty good to me.  :lol

Slightly off topic Darrsi, interesting point about your bike breaking away slightly at the rear!
When i bought mine last year, it handled like it was on rails, even though it had been stood for a good 12 months, it had part worn Bridgestones on when i got it.
After i had the top-end re-done last September, i fitted new Bridgestones but by the the bad weather was starting to set in, so i didn't use it very often.
On the odd times i have been out on it, it has occasionally stepped out on the rear, so might be a good idea to check the rear shock i think.
Nice one.

People on here have mentioned a few times that the standard rear shock gets a bit weary from the 20,000 mile mark, so i should've taken the hint there to be honest, but as i've said before in all the bikes i've owned i've never had any known issues with shocks before so the problem kind of crept up on me gradually.
I was so ridiculously busy at work last year that i never even had time to get it sorted earlier either, i had to wait for the Xmas break to sort it out as i needed the bike on constant standby, i've still got 15 days holiday left to use in the next couple of months!! Bloody slave drivers!  :whip

Not quite one owner, but bought mine off chap who had it from new with full history.

He'd picked up one of the last 2003 FoxEye's, had to scour country for nice blue one, ended up ordering it from Chorely dealer and delivered to Essex. Had belly pan, hugger and blue screen fitted. Chap had done naff all with it, had only done 13K after 10 years.

Then I bought it, threw it at London and fucked it up... ;-)


BTW, mine's on around 22K now, what should I be looking out for with regards to rear shock?
