So what is the verdict on the monoshock?
Had enough of a go to judge the effect of it yet?

Seems OK. Going to rip it out and see if Gav's one will work now. Have to compare spring rates etc and then modify the frame.

T'was better than the twin shocks I had (not because it's a mono, just because the rate is better).

The fully adjustable shock has not yet had it's first outing due to the owners shortage of cash. (No amount of money will buy two stroke oil on a Sunday morning...Doh!) So I took the ZX1R to the track for it's shakedown run.

Since then I have started repositioning the foot pegs as they are too high (as many have said). It's not that I wasn't listening, it's just I couldn't be bothered.

Now, however, I can pass the old brackets to Kendog for his bucket so I feel the need to pull finger.

Also to be fitted is the new 2.15 rear rim. Current setup is a 1.85 front and a 1.4 rear! No, the handling was not great.

Didn't get the hubs in time so it was off to the meeting with the shit rear tyre and small rim again.

I did do the foot pegs and found it much better. I didn't notice the rear shock so it must have been doing it's thing well.

And I found the missing two stroke oil. I could have raced it last month after all. Doh-Doh!

Good call on movin the pegs, ergonomics seems to be one of the more important aspects of bucket building aye. Some bike while right for their owners can be crippling to ride, I thought matts bucket was real good but unfortunatley just couldn't phisically stay on it for long due to cramp!
Gonna be interesting getting it sorted when (if ever!) I get off my arse and get one built, coz I really don't sit well on most of the ones out there...
