is that shock from hyper-pro ?
It is, yes. Got it from Hein Gericke about 3 years ago.

Honestly, I think it's the best that money can buy. I've had a Maxton in the track-bike and ridden a mates RVF with the all-singing Nitron and I'd choose the Hyper-Pro if they were all the same price, however, unfortunately they are not. The Hyper-Pro was almost £600 and I don't think it's £200 better than the Nitron equivelant. If I were buying again I'd be going for a Nitron.

Mo, have you tried contacting Rick Oliver? He does a fork upgrade kit for nearly half the price of the Hyper-Pro you were quoted. It work really well in my VFR and a friend has the RO kit in his RVF and he rates it highly too.

Cans are finally back on Thursday so I'll be trying to get the bike started this weekend. Need fresh fuel, a fresh charge of the battery and a lot of crossed fingers and toes. Pics as always to follow in a few days.

All the pics are in the previous pages. I'll hopefully have these back in my possession tonight and will polish the last of the pipework. I also need to get springs to hold them in place but I think a bit of lock-wire will do the trick until then :D
I've almost completed painting the new front fender too, just need to lacquer it up and polish it them a quick check around the bike for everything and I'll be good to go.

Went to the guys house last night and he is coming to mine tonight to line up the slieves so they can be rivetted into the right place. 1 of the perforated tubes is not in great condition but he's welded some collars to the top and bottom so it'll stay in place but will most likely need replacing at some point but I'll leave it until they fall apart LOL
Rhory, if you're about tonight sure call on over. Any time after 6 will do.
