quick one guys, is the cbr 400(gullarm) rear shock linkage design the type where the top of the shock just floats and isnt attached to the bike, so the pivot and linkage only moves the bottom!? i swear iv seen a working/moving diagram on here before, just cant remember.


cheers guys

Unlucky, as I said on 125 forum, I just got my cast off my arm yesterday as it was 6 weeks since I severed my thumbs tendon, nerve, vein and artery.

My advice is do what the quacks say, don't use the arm for ANY lifting or strenuous stuff. When you get to your physio stage, just take the pain and do your exercises when they say. It'll fly by.

I can't speak for the money related stuff as I still live with my parents! Good luck!
