Fitted my Penske Shock
 
Wow, way better than the Kwak shock.

I will send it off to get serviced and for a revalve & spring to be changed for my weight. At the moment monies are a tad tight but it will be done & i hope for a better feal.

With the Kwak shock i was getting the bike weaving at high speed bends & also stepping out the rear on roundabouts but with the new shock even now it does not do that.

Its also way easier to set the preload, no fiddling with that slilly C spanner, just put a screwdriver/allen key into the adjuster and turn it around. It also has a ride height adjuster on the bottom if so needed. Its a straight fit for the standard shock, mabey a tiny bit need to be cut, but i mean tini tiny.

Its one of these. http://www.motorsports-network.com/a.../Shock8981.htm

Fitted it look a tad like this. (not my bike plus that pic has the resovoir fitted next to shock while mine has been located just behind my right leg until i find a better place, the hose is a tad short, thats why).

Ile only say that it should cost abt £500 new. It did not cost me anything like that though, whatsoever.
