R6 shock Mod fazer 1000

Right then a reply to Pitt and Luke 

fitted the lovely lickable R6 shock and polished bones yesty morn , only took less than an hr to fit and that was cos i had to refer to haynes manual for torque settings .
just to get you up to speed , i run standard front forks with 15mm thru the yokes and the forks still on original gloop oil in.
i went for a test ride , finding smooth tarmac to uneven crap roads.

first findings the bike now holds a line the rear firm but forgiving , the front forks now talk to me thru the bends , i now feel planted and can feel the front tyre. there is no see-saw action anymore. the ride is smooth on a little overbanding on uneven surfaces coming from the front end.

give it the full monty berries the bike is stable and feels alive with the tuning Mike did.

the shock is night and day and made me realise how shite the standard shock is. Luke set the shock for my weight around 11 stone , i have left the setting as they are. the bike is balanced , all it needs i think is a oil change in the forks .

i cant stress how good the R6 mod is and the bike feels comfortable, taut and no understeer on sweeping bends . Its FANTASTIC!

Cheers Luke you are a Star! the best dollar i have spent on all the mods my bike has !

thanks a million times
