Default After much concideration (suspension)

I have decided after my last thread to do the following to my bikes suspension:

New front progresive springs and oil.

New stiffer spring only for rear shock, but probably replace the OEM shock fora newer one and combine this with the new spring.

Raise the rear with new dog bones.

This should give me improved suspension front and rear, and better turn in speed!!

Now i remember Soulkiss saying you was doing something similar at Fox's diner, and that the kit was from HG

How much was it again? and what was the make of the stuff?

Or if any one else knows of a good kit for doing the above springs then please let me know.

Got the Hyperpro Spring kit from HG Northampton (cos I thought I would give Paws the sale).

Cost was about £180 - the Hyperpro Part-code for the set is SP-SU06-SSC011

As I said, I also have a low-mileage rear shock that I got from Empty, would have to check with him, but I think he said it has < 2k miles on it, it could be yours for £25

that is a good price, i take it fitting instructions are included??

Yeah ill take the shock when you want to get rid of it please. put the new spring on it and that will do me for the rest of the time i have the bike.

Sorting the suspension is one of the things i am going to get sorted this winter, the other bing some SS brake lines. So next spring she should handle and stop a lot better.

Then the only thing left to do is improve my riding skill to match!!
