Sv suspension

[Lou Girardin]

I've got a pair of 10mm overlength spacers for an SV650, free to a good home.

Well, I've finally done something about it.

Ordered a ZX10R shock from the US in the middle of last month and got it 7 days later (was pretty surprised it came that fast). Took it around to a mate's place yesterday afternoon to install it.

Took us the best part of 4 hours to change them over, partly due to the various modifications which needed to be done for everything to fit. I might see about getting a thinner battery, because at the moment it's sitting on top of the shock reservoir. We covered the shock reservoir in foam but it's still less than ideal.

I haven't really had much of a chance to test it out, but it did feel better on the way home. I suppose the acid test will be on the coastal road from Thames to Coromandel town. I'll have to get down there sometime soon and try it out.

Cost for the shock was $185NZ shipped plus a dozen beers for my mate and a few miscellaneous other items. I'll post up what I think about how the shock perfoms at a later date for those interested.
