I know. But have a look and see if you can do the same trick.

Indeed, though actually if the shock bottom isn't threaded you can't do much. But if you run into interference issues with the nut + bolt then it's worth a look.

I could be chatting b0llocks, but it's something to bear in mind when you get t'other bolt.

A GSXR thou shock on a curvy would have made the bike really soft. Its softer than the standard IIRC.

Yeah, it was short as well. Really not a good choice, but that was what he bought, so...

Right then, after a few adjustments of pre-load, compression and rebound I am a happy camper.

My only little niggle is I feel a little forward biased, and in the wet I don't like that too much, but according to my fanny bands, I'm not all that forward biased, so maybe its just me.

I feel much better exiting corners, don't feel I am squatting as much.
