Well i have the Maxton adjustable rear shock, which was 305mm min. But after speaking with a few chaps in the know (DS and GF) they recommended 290mm?

Hi carl, sorry, only the one on eBay at the moment. As for the shock length, I did try several lengths from 290 to 310 and 305 worked best for my bikes with the nc35 front end. I have the full bike measurements at home if interested.

I have a 35 front end on mine.I will check with Richard at Maxton and see where we ended up at.I was thinking about it this evening,not sure what I have now.With a bit of luck you might be looking at the back of mine this year,let me know what you think then.

Hi Carl, would be good to race against your bike this year as I dont get to race against fast CBRs very much as Bemsee is mostly ZXRs! The only other 2 riders that were on CBRs last year are now on ZXRs.. Still it will be fun beating them.. :)

Yes dont know what happened with Chris,he went a bit radio silence on me.My mate Lee is doing a few TZ rounds with Bemsee,he said he would give the bike a couple of goes.Dan is up for some rides,not sure,whatever he wants really.I just rang maxton,mine is on 295,so its going back,I allways thought it was low at the back.The bikes lighter than last year,been going over every bit,and made some Ti stuff so look out! No seriously,it would be good to see you flying the CBR flag.Cheers Carl.
