    See I have no issue doing that, but Rob wont know what needs replacing until the shock is apart, and if he has to order parts, im stuck in New Plymouth thumbing a lift home.

    God this is gonna turn out like when I got the bike painted, bike will be temporarily off the road and ill have to use the dreaded public transport

    Most shocks are fairly generic, as in a lot of bits are interchangeable. Robert will know what he may need, and will more likely than not have it in stock anyhow...

    In the end I got my old shock rebuilt, I couldnt find any second hand ones in NZ, and Ebay was asking too much to justify someone elses wrecked suspension.

    Courtesy of Rob it is respecced to my weight with ohlins and racetech components, very keen to see how the bike feels once its fitted (still waiting on a stator to arrive in the country before the bike can get back on the road).

    Im pretty sure Im helping fund Rob and George's retirement funds, but it is money well spent.

    how much was just the rear shock for the blade?

    I got a quote of around 1,500 I think.. and the front forks were similar money (might as well do front and back.. n point having a sweet rear and and shitty up front)

    Job done. New stator and rebuilt suspension is in, rear is solid as a rock (in a good way). Only problem is now the front feels really soft under braking, will get it rebuilt in time, but are there any handy tips on taking the rear down a bit? Front preload is wound up to max. Eddie, I got ohlins spring and a race tech piston in the package for less than that from kss

    I told you you're gonna love it.
    Even more after the front is done. Dunno what KSS did with my front but it made it softer with less brake dive at the same time. It's not logical.
