Re: MOT and Rear shock advisory
Well its tester discretion.
it just says in the book With the rear wheel on the ground observe the amount of movement and the effectiveness and security of the shock absorbers by sitting on the machine and depressing the rear suspension several times as far as possible

Re: MOT and Rear shock advisory
Consider just how bad something like an MOT worth cruiser is, from an MOT perspective don't worry about it.
From handling perspective, do worry about it

Re: MOT and Rear shock advisory
Mine had no damping and bounced like a space hopper so i swapped it for a 6000 mile standard shock and it was a different bike.

Re: MOT and Rear shock advisory
I have a curvy. I do have some other shocks lying around - but of questionable quality.
If I was going to take the shock out, I'd probably just fit a different one. |

I saw a nearly new Maxton or Nitron go on Ebay for under £100 recently. I couldn't justify bidding on it, but I wish I had at that price
