Shock comes off easily ( was mentioned on here many times and I've used this method too) when you remove the top bolt first allowing the swingarm to drop down away from the pipework... :wink: or maybe you raise it , I can't remember :oops: Hadn't considered that (dropping the swing arm I mean with ...

No idea about a straight swap on the mounting lugs but I think you will find the brake line ends (where they meet the caliper) are different angles so you will need new lines as well.

From recollection the Y piece deffo has come off (if a Laser) to allow the long bottom shock bolt to come out.

Steve You may recall I had one (2004 RSVR) and brought it to Wales at least once. I got rid when I bought the HP2. Good points? Stonking engine and front brakes. Reliable (once I got it sorted). Sounds fantastic, especially with Akra cans. Handling. Looks. Bad points? Rear brake utterly useless unle...

Because we are mug enough to pay it. Like so many things in Britain. Local distributor get the UK franchise and tries to make as much out of it as possible in the shortest possible time. Vote with your feet. That said, I am as guilty as the next man for paying over the odds for imported stuff :oops:...

That looks fun! Do you have to do anything special to get the gats there? Ammo? Yes, pay the airline :evil: book um in in advance, check um in at the airport and collect from airport plod at the other end. Don't bother transporting ammo, not worth it as weight restricted. Buy it at destination. Che...

An motorbikes are not ecological. DT Why not? I'd have thought they were. Intrinsically. 45mpg to transport one (typically) person.......... You can get 5 people in a car with similar consumption. So in relative terms - they are not very sound as far as resources go. (would be my guess). Al Spot on...
