so, the thou shock fits no bother?
The Fazer 600 is okay on standard suspension for those that can't ride properly I guess but it's always been to soft for me. Standard bikes fit standard people and not everyone, some wish to tailor the bikes to suit their riding so why do numptys always seem to decry this?
Most roads in my country are so bad that I'd go for even SOFTER suspension often. However, on track, or on those rare occasions where I come across good road, little traffic, nice bends, then I do wish for harder springs, with more rebound damping. But not often enough to justify 500+ euro investment.
Wilbers is the way to go from what I could learn. Both front and rear. Or get a cheap race bike for thrashing.
