    Very nice kev.b , you will notice a difference on the road or on track, makes the bike feel much more planted IMO, especially when you really push the bike hard. Nice one :)

    Money well spent that even if just for road use, what you should find is the bikes more planted, more consistently the same if that makes sense, the harder you push the more that shock will lap it up, gets better the more you push unlike the stock shock.

    Fitted this today, nice addition to a good shock ;)

    Bought an Ohlins shock for my 05 blade and after fitting it handled worse! But then I had it set up professionally and boy what a difference!!

    I've put £50 to one side for the very same reason.
    May as well go out on my first lap knowing the bikes set up as much as it can be, thinking if I can get over to a local track it will be well worth another £50 for the blade
