Ok, so I went with the proper version of shock with the adjusters together. Managed to get one with 3600 kms on the clock from german ebay for only €70. Great price, huh?
Shocks swapped yesterday night. All is well except that I can't seem to find an affordable replacement spring here in Hungary. Hyperpro, Wilbers and Öhlins are available but with extreme prices. Faulkners' is £31 which would be ok, but postage is £39... :rollin
I am 85 kg without gear and often carry passenger and sidecases. At preload pos 5 rear sag is 13 mm higher than the original one with the same preload (both without gear etc). I am considering buying a 750 lbs/in (131 N/mm) spring. What do you think?
Thank you all for sharing your experiences. Especially thanks kebab for the original post and DCurzon for the top-hat spacer idea and measurements. Exact fit.
