how much would a new rear shockm cost, or even a decent second hand one. At the moment my final list is
Brake discs for the bike, double bubble screen (Blue), tail tidy, New bulbs, Fender extender, Seat Cowl. Basically how much of that would I have to cut to make the money back so I could afford the rear shock. It is on ny very long today list along with a full leo vincent exhurst system when I can afford them both ;)

Why do you want to change brake discs? Stock ones work fine and you will never need more with the stock forks you have... better to change whole front end!

Allow £500+ for a shock

You know that saying ... "The best way to upgrades your bike is to improve your riding skills." Asking your parent to sponsor an advanced riding course like IAM or RoSPA or even a machine control day on a race track, will almost certainly guarantee the funding. You will be amazed how much different the bike will handle, accelerate or break with the same tyres, brake disks and shocks. Plus its a good investment you can take with you on future bikes.

And get a smoked screen. Unless you will be able to colour match it to your bike, any other shade of blue will look cheap and is likely to have the opposite effect.
