Well for anyone thinking of going down this route rather than an R6 rear shock my initial impression after a quite spirited ride of approximately 60 miles on twisty single carriageways roads last night was that it was well worth the £103.00 it cost me. I paid a £100 for the shock (inc. p&p)and £3.00 for some stainless nuts and bolts to mount it with. A friend did the top bushes for me for the price of beer but you can use washers to space it out if you don't have a friend with a machine shop. So £172 less than I would have paid for an R6 shock and I'm fairly confident it's every bit as good, BMW owners may be dumping them for Ohlins but nothing wrong with the Sachs unit as far as I can tell.
