Going back to the mod issue, I also should point out that my K tech shock failed from a piece of grit , but that was from debris at the BASE of the shock. Hence perchance fazer owners should note that neither this mod nor a hugger will guarentee a shocks life, Fit whatever suits yer style and budget.
The grit incidentally I believe came when on tour in switzerland in 2011 the tarmac road ran out and became shale, wet and not at all level, over a distance of 500 to 600 yds. To go back meant a 100 mile detour, so we went on, but the bike was plastered in grey shaley muck , and twas from such liberal plastering I think the damage was done...not maybe comparable to " normal" road conditions...
