    Decided enough that the standard suspension needed upgrading, and I was fed up with the rock hard spring on the rear also.

    Yes the rear is no problem, already have the back end apart . The fronts are trickier though as you have to split the lower fork leg from the bottom leg and this can be a bastard so will probably get my local Ohlins dealer to do it as he has all the tools.

    Cool, I got my rear shock from them. They've got to be the best place to get Ohlins from.

    Looks like some small bearing wear, and need to machine up some thin shims to stop the linkage wear. Parts now being ultrasonic cleaned ready to be put back.

    Peter, How much did the shock set you back if you don't mind me asking you?
