Great stuff kebab, good you're getting close to your perfect setup... I can only wish I was too.
An often overlooked subject is the ease of preload adjustment. Makes a big difference to me as I ride with luggage/pillion/solo in equal amounts. The standard shock is quick and easy to adjust but I want a good adjustable shock! Answer would be a Nitron or something decent with a remote preload adjuster. Without one those aftermarket shocks are a pain as they have a threaded adjuster not notched like the oem shocks, which I found out to my expense with a Wilbers.
So before I start starving myself so I can afford a £600 shock or consider another bike, how easy is it to adjust on the R6 shock? As easy as on the standard shock?
