So - the plunge taken and a red one ordered. Arrived quickly (well it would, wouldn't it?)
Fitting took approx 15 minutes, thanks to the carefully written instructions (however I had to swap the prepared 17mm spanners for 19mm and back again at the bottom of page one :lol :lol :lol )
Didn't fancy skinning my knuckles undoing the top bolt with a spanner, so I removed the r/h side panel and used a 14mm socket, U/J and a 6" extension, which may have been quicker.
Went for a brief spin on Saturday - what can I say. I think all of the 29 previous pages say it all (well most of them do). Back end felt more planted, with very little (if any squat) under acceleration. I am looking forward to getting some more miles done this week to assess where, if any, any further tweaks need to be made.
Well done Luke, an excellent mod, well thought out and easily applied for the non-spanner twirlers amongst us. :thumbup
