Another happy biker, shock fitted. The ride is much better at the back end to the point that it shows the front end up a little :rolleyes but should be fine for my gentle riding style.
For anyone else a little short in the leg I stayed with the standard dog bones which drops the back end around 10mm so I did likewise with the front.
The bike is now much easier for me to move around when I'm sat on it as I'm not on tip toe anymore.
Getting the bike on the centre stand is a little harder but doable and it sit's more upright when on the side stand, ground clearance is also a little less but again not really an issue for my type of riding.
Well worth doing and will be even more so if we can start selling the 1000 shock on to the 600 lads.
