    Yeah, and i think cheaper than one from England would have been, with shipping and everything. Plus it has a guarantee so win win.

    Ok, the new (2nd hand) shock has died, after riding for about 7 days or so from the Shore to Manukau. Any ideas why the bike is killing shocks like this? I'm not riding it hard or anything, and I haven't had a pillion on it since I put the new one in, and I'm quite light. The shock is set to about 40psi, well within the recommended limits for the shock (according to my Hayes manual).

    This is beginning to get rather irritating so if anyone has any ideas that would be great.

    Cheers.

    The guy at the Honda shop up the road said he didn't know much about this type of bike, but that maybe I could get a different type of shock, i.e. an outer sprung dealio which might help. I can't find anyone of the entire internet with a similar problem. the Honda guy said that judging by the original shock that I took in the frame was all good and he had not other suggestions other than that that type of shock was a bit dodgy.
