This only works for an NC35 though.

bummer. that explains why i can only source them for the NC35

I've ordered new seals and bushes for the front forks and see how they feel after a rebuild before thinking about progressive springs.

So i am still trying to choose the right option for the rear shock. My current options are:

Rebuild and resprung original shock from a company on ebay £140.00 + buy jack up link £70.00 = £210.00

Hagon Shock £250.00 + buy jack up link £70.00 = £320.00

EMC Shock £250.00 + buy jack up link £70.00 = £320.00

Nitron Shock off ebay rrp £450 buy now £350 which i think is height adjustable = £350.00

Nitron road shock sprung to correct weight, i think includes heigh adjustment = £350.00

Maxton shock sprung to correct weight = £405.00

Its a costly affair thats for sure.

The jack up link is only £35, also hagon and emc shocks can probably be ordered longer than standard so won't need one.

You'll definately need new springs for the forks as well unless you only weigh 9 stone.

Are the standard Jap ones really that soft?
I weight 10.5 Stone so i may benefit from a stiffer setup.

I know Hagon do progressive springs for £55 and Rick Oliver does a kit for £80.

I can sense more overtime at work!

Thanks for all the input guys, keep it coming.
