budda Posted January 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 When I posted this I knew i should have just PM'd you. Are they better quality than the original ones, do you know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trackdaybob Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 It does seem to be a reasonably popular mod. They work very well apparently. 5pw yokes are an improvement too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budda Posted January 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Yeah gonna fit some yokes when I find some, don't wanna spend a fortune as its a road bike, but do wanna improve it without spending loads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morepower Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Got an 07 shock on mine... But it does need a bit of modification to the swingarm... had to put a small dent into the alloy sheet next to the reservoir... Nothing drastic.. But it is not a direct swap even though the lenghts are spot on... But it is 100% better than the old shock... So as I dont plan to sell the bike I dont care about the dent..

budda Posted January 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Sounds good mate, can you see the dent with the shock fitted? Welcome back by the way, love your work, just don't let Andy ride any more of them....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So as I dont plan to sell the bike I dont care about the dent.. do you need to do anything other than make the room (with a hammer)? does the shock need re-valved or anything like that?
