I picked up a used Cogent Mojave shock that BOL put me in too Andi , it's a massive improvement to the bike, probably the best mod I have done so far

That hill is a baby Steve , next time you're over i'll take you to the big un

Is that the one that runs under the power lines Phil ??

[PHILinFRANCE]

Thats big Sarge but the new ones just silly

[Andi_Archer]

Ive gone and ordered some Wilbers front shock springs from revs suspension ,,,,, hopefully they will fit as the website only lists up to 2000
Is there any recommended company local the Manchester that refurbs shocks?

[lancashirelad]

KAIS Suspention Atherton & TW Suspention Preston get good reviews?

[Andi_Archer]

Cheers bud I shall have a look

[boboneleg]

I replaced my rear shock with a Nitron unit, the difference is very noticeable. In the front I used Cogent DDC's (drop down cartridges) and Eibach straight rate springs, like the rear the difference is night and day.

Heat is your friend with rotor bolts Phil, a couple of mins wit a blow lamp and they come out easy.......but a hammer works as well but will require new bolts

Phil I thought the front master cylinder gave up on the TET ......about the same time as the frame cracked !

As Sarge says, a bit of heat is better than a hammer and chisel on reluctant bolts, but old habits die hard eh .....
