Rear shock leaking.. again. Options?

@BJ did it make a HUGE difference in the ride ?

Well compared to the completely shot OEM (84k kms) they are great.
However to be honest I was expecting a bit more.
BUT having said that, the suspension was provided by Wilbers on the basis that I advised that I did carry a pillion at times. And it was really good with the Mrs on the back.
I was after a really ultra smooth ride and while that is not presently as good as I would have liked, the bike is very stable when cornering.
As well, I have adjusted it way off the suggested middle settings (in trying to set it for solo) and haven't really tinkered with it for ages. When I was tinkering you could definitely feel the differences from the adjustments.
It's something I'll have to get back to.
Basically it's pretty good at the moment that I haven't felt the urge to adjust it any further.
If you only have a pillion on your bike a few times a year then when ordering from Wilbers I would advise that always ride solo.

I saw a display yesterday at Laverda show for a guy called GAZI shocks. Has anyone used them ?

One particular set looks like a perfect fit for a 1400

Not used them myself but they sure do look the business and seem well specced for the price.

My rh shock started leaking last week, on Ebay were a couple of spacers that do away with the adjusting mechanism, I bought them for £10 the pair, I needed the bike on Saturday so stuck a left hand shock on to get me by, it works fine just the knob is at tyre side

Bob, a link to those adjusters please. Would like a look. Thanks Mate.

@Bob

Cheers

Cant do links 
Can what's app pics tho, would be easy to knock up on a lathe
Not sure who made them

I have Hagon Nitros on mine and they're sound. Mrs N and I have just done a two week/2500 mile trip through France and Germany with full luggage/top box and tank bag with no concerns or "moments" re handling etc

You've got a lot of gear on her, just shows what's possible.

And she never missed a beat Col

Bob, if you cant do links no prob. Just a description of where you bought spacers would be good. Would love to see them.

@Bob an easy way to add a link to a post here, if you want to:

1) have this site open (where you want to insert the link) and the site you want to post a link to, in another tab.

2) right click on the address bar at the top of the page where it says 'http/www/jimmysbigbackyard' etc  It will turn blue & give you an options list, one of those is 'Copy'  select that.

3) go back to the GSX1400 tab & it'll open where you where before, get the cursor where you want to add the link & right click, options appear, select 'Paste' & bang, it's done.

Long winded writing it all out, but it's only a matter of a few clicks & it's done.  Hope it's of some assistance to ya mate.

I'll try that Col
