... and it's GOOOOOOD! Just took it out for a quick test and the preliminary results are positive :) Installation went without any major hitches, used the 55mm kwak bolt (92153-1546) and 2x 2mm washers on the bolt head side with the bolt going left to right and it all clears the dogbones just fine.
It's the 8.3kg/mm '06-07 model, was concerned it'd be too soft however as a mini lettuce-muncher (9.5st with gear) it seems ok (phew!) The stock one used to throw me up on every bump and the new one is much better. Oh, and did I mention there's actually some damping? And it doesn't feel like it's stepping out in the corners.
Currently I've got 18mm of thread on the preload, 2 turns CCW on the rebound and 3 on the comp. Probably leave it as is for a bit, do some more miles and see what it needs.
Once again all thanks to the org - no way I could have done this without all the information on here. :thumbsup:
