I am thinking the same shocks stock length, try to get them fitted along with the front end before i can get out riding again
all good mate threads in Health section

Chriso

Thanks for all that info, and I have also now ordered a set of intiminators will do that step first and then the rear a little later, was wondering what weight oil you dropped into the folks?

Ozymax

Trust all goes very well mate, and take good care

Both you guys are tops with all the good oil so to speak, Don

When I ordered the intiminators I gave them the expected weight of the rider (120km) (which is me and the Mrs because thats 90% of my riding now) and they came up with Amsol medium #10, they do a lighter #5 as well.
be a few months before I can say how it goes

My intiminators arrived this morning, they are installed and I have been for a spin - Wow. Chalk & cheese difference, now I can just focus on riding the thing and I dont have to be watching so intensly for every little woop de do. Good dollars spent, used Motul 10w, 750 mls per leg (and thats what came out of each as well). Absolutly the best attack is to use a bike lift & remove the legs from the bike, it aint that many bolts. Then with each leg clamped & held with a vice (an old stubby holder to wrap and protect works well), the way I got the caps back down was to use a piece of timber as a lever & a ratchet strap adjusted to facilitate as the fulcrum.  Hope that all makes sense Don

Good stuff mate you didn't stuff around once they arrived.

Some good mail there for blokes interested, good on ya mate.

yeh there my next change

I know its has all been said before, but as I have used lots of the top info that you bloke kindly give I reckon I should also say.

One of the best things I have done so far is to bolt on a stabiliser kit (i used True Track only because was very easy to order on line). I just went for a 200k spin to see what was the difference, and all I can say is what a bloody difference!!

I did previously aso put in the intiminators and thought that was good, but after a while I still felt the bike was sort of mushy on corners, but not now . . . it simply holds the line you set. I also used to think that it felt a bit like the steering head might need tightening, but since the stabiliser is on all of those feelings have gone.

Not a difficult job to install, but you do need to just take your time and you are best to have a helper on hand to do the rear one. the instruction sheet that Chriso put on here is also heaps better than the instruction sheet that came with the kit.
