2012 shock ooo a tight one

Just fitted my 2012 rear shock on my 09 blade. I have the honda repsol hugger, and the res of the shock, just rests on it! sooo very lucky!

Easy pesy to fit, took all of 30mins from start to finish, and i cant get a bike trade job...f*ckers

Next is titanium sprocket nuts x 2 as they same size as the nuts for the rear shock linkage

 

that looks very tidy mate! and very snug

 

Looks very nice mate. I want 1 of those. Been in the hunt for quite a while now.

 

Nice !where did you get the shock ?

 

nearly looks as good as mine

Glad it fit with hugger!!

 

Gotta be done mate

 

Gotta be done pal

 

Ano. That's my next big mod. I'll get it resprung for my weight, and I'll also get the front sorted at the same time.

 

Colin ner ner!!





HaHa

 

That's not just rubbing salt into the wounds mate. That's just full on jap torture your dealing out there.

 

Might send mine of this week how much did they charge to do your forks mate


looking mint Colin gonna be a fair few of us with the 2012 shocks now

 

got mine from ebay a little back, just couldnt be bothered to fit it til now!! didnt need to respring mine soo but was tempted for a ti spring.... ill wait til next year and get aftermarket shock with 1 on
Least we all know it fits with 2012 standard hugger and honda aftermarket huggers... not sure about other makes... honda is defo best hugger though, some come with well big stupid brackets
Get my special rear link from states soon.. nearly made! raises rear and improves grip loads.... it bit like the hrc link

 

Does anyone know if the 2012 shock and forks would go into a RR6

 

No mate it wont fit rr6!!

The forks cost 390+ vat mate!!

First day out tomoz! to try all me new shit!!

The thursday its custom map sunday another trip out with diff tyre pressures then smortsmarts on then iom MINT!!!

 

Awesome nice one mate deffo looking forward to a write up on them tyres forks and shock haha

 

Is that deffinate or are you trying to keep this mod a bit exclusive
What about the forks?

 

Well me and gazza had to remove our hugger after 30 miles catching tyre the hugger seems a bit flimsy and gets hot off tyre then touches weird!!!! anyone else having probs i will be modding soon keeps ya posted!!

 

What hugger you had on?? my shock just touches it, but wont affect it tyre wise! hugger moves with swingarm etc all in 1 soooo
I know some aftermarket 1s run well close to tyre normally i hate these just think even a stone will catch your hugger

 

There standard non abs huggers!

Gaz has 2011 bike and hugger i have 2011 bike with 2012 hugger both are miles away from the tyre and like you say move with swingarmarm SO why are they rubbing its not the ABS undertray touching cos there no where near the hugger and there are no marks from them touching!!!


Its doing my head in
