Hi mate, yes that ebay item is what you need.
It's fairly straight forward to fit but might take some time the first time you get stuck in.
You need to be able to support the bike so you can loosen the shock, either through using an abba stand, car jacks under each footpeg (iffy but can be done) or support the rear of the bike from a rafter with a rope or block and tackle etc.
If you get stuck just ask on here!

Pretty much, it needs to go on top of the shock under the mount on the frame, not on top of it.Jono wrote:anyone have any pictures of one fitted? just unsure where it sits, undo the top suspension mount under the battery and sit it between the nut and the mount?
