Sensible choice for shocks

Sensible choice for shocks 

They offer a 25mm longer version, which is what I've opted for. Can't wait to see how it handles with the Nitron TVT front end as well. Obviously I'm not expecting sportsbike handling but it should be a significant improvement.

It's off the lift for the first time since August! I managed to complete a few laps of my local area successfully so it's time for a quick tub before a ride with the wife tomorrow.

There's still a couple of small things I want to tidy up so I'll save a full detail until after that. It's time to enjoy it for now.

Yeah Mate, really needs a tub😂Looks so bloody good, A1 for effort🥇

Sarcasm detected . It's been sitting in the shed since August so it's a bit dusty and I've had my greasy mits all over it. Wouldn't be right to ride it dirty after all this time

On one of her bikes. She hates being on the back and I hate taking a pillion

Didnt realise no pillion pegs. A nice little solo seat with cowl on rear? I really hated the standard seat.A true ball crusher.

Mate, even your grass looks clean!  Let alone your bike.  Reckon you & Barmy would be good mates . . .

Looks great mate, job well done.

Seat is on the list for sure. I planned to at least remodel it to make it less of a ball crusher and add a bit of extra height. I like your suggestion though.

Cheers and sounds good to me. All the shiny stuff in the front end was what caught my attention when these bikes were released. Funny how it became a bit much for my taste over time. And the usual chipped clear coat and pitting had occurred so it was time for an update.

Don't get out as much as we should between work, being on call for work, travelling for work and keeping an energetic Dalmatian entertained. Hmmm, I said work a lot 🤔
