Brilliant mate.... the Nitron shock is next on my list ...
Can you give us a little more feedback on its performance.
Some photos Steve would be appreciated too.
Let us know how its behaving...
cheers Martin.
Hi Martin, I've tried to attach a photo - no idea if it's worked until after I submit this reply though. In summary the shock is excellent quality, it comes with a special tool to adjust the preload with too. I recommend putting some silicon lubricant onto the threads first (before installing the shock) to make it easier to adjust.
Installation was ok to do, I used an Abba stand to support the bike and this enabled the swing arm to be moved easily once the shock was unbolted and this aided the removal of the unit by dropping it downwards. I managed to do so without dropping the exhaust - but it's a tight fit. Actually installing the new Nitron was quicker to do than removing the original.
I had the suspension set up for me by Dave Moss who is in NZ at the moment, after a couple of runs he got things nicely balanced.
The bike now handles as it should - holds a tight line through the bends, it has a real quality feel to it.
