Gonna be a busy boy this weekend if it comes for saturday.

Any rough settings to dial into it ? Cheers

I am surprised you want softer than stock?!!??

Got round to fitting the shock on monday. The Damping is 1,000,000 X better than the old shock, the spring is just about right without adjustment. The rear has raised about inch & 1/2 from stock (or feels to have). Seems a touch soft 2-up but for the amount of 2-up i do it aint that big of a problem.

Results so far....got my knee down Rear inspires MUCH more confidence now it's not wobbling.

Further to my Jet Post i Did that 2 weeks ago now and the results are brilliant (147.5 mains, De-snorkel). No more stinky exhaust from the rich mixture. No flat spots in the rev range and she pulls like a train from 2K to limiter in every gear.
Top speed: no noticable difference to be honest,
Acceleration: better by a long way, Picks up from low revs much easier and revs more freely.

Now all i have to do is stick her on the dyno and make sure everythings tickety boo. How much should i be paying for a dyno run with fuel/air readout ?? £15-20 ??

I usually pay a tenner, but that's pretty cheap. Youngs are amused by my bike so I think I get a discount

As much as I would like to take credit for 'The List', I pinched from our good friends across the pond on www.svrider.com! They had an uber-thread going on this subject!
