smudged your lipstick and mascara on them Fury??


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

shock fitted, it took only 500 yards and two roundabouts to notice the difference, also at normal straight line speed it felt so much better.

I have to thank all of the contributers the the various threads for pointing me towards the wilbers it is a great piece of kit.

(Ignoring all the random abbreviationism going on...)

Excellent stuff - well pleased that it's made such an obvious difference. Are we permitted a small 'told you so'...? :smt003

I don't mind at all, I ahve a great piece of kit a little bit of "we told you so" can't change that.

I think I deserve a little bit of credit as i changed the shock without putting more than 300 miles on the bike but such is life, so pleased and right now the sun is shining bright and I'm off out.

Aye you do, took me 3000 to get hacked off enough to look for my wallet.
Glad it's working well for you.
