Picked up the shock from the engineers today, spring fitted and the top mount drilled out to 12mm, need to grind some material from center stand mount to clear the suspension linkage but should just bolt on then.
Cost so far is about £140 which includes new 16kg/mm spring and top and bottom spring seats. So not to bad. Could have saved a few £ waiting for a cheaper shock but one I found was like new. Not sure how it will handle but it looks the part lol
R6 is probably the best option though as even though this has worked out cheaperits not a bolt on, the expansion tank needs moving or modifying and even the shock body needed some filing.
One other job out of the way
