Hi all.
Ok. I was expecting the tyres but I was not expecting the rear shock.
Anyone out there got a rear shock for my L Reg divvy that will help it pass the mot?
And I thought it was a bit light at the front in corners because it needed new tyres!
New shock at 300 smackers I can't do.
But if anyone knows a great place for tyres as well that might be a good idea to.
Yours
Chris

Nah im serious bud straight swap Is the modern one the same length? I thought they were longer & sat the tail of the bike up higher? That would change the handling somewhat & also make it lean over more on the sidestand. Happy to hear if that's wrong though. |
