|
|
decided to get the shock o/hauled and potentially the forks also as its stoopid hard and not good to be out of the seat so easily on the type of roads round here (apologies for the improvised "abba" stand )
as always have come across 'proper' italian engineering..............
look away if your shy...
this linkage bolt cant be removed without first removing exhaust!!
and this is even worse?? think they fitted the bolt and then welded the frame spar in place, comedy gold

That's the same "abba" stand that is currently holding my GSXR up while it's shock is out being rebuilt. My stand is silver and black, though. _________________ Look for my books...

Don't know about a mini overhaul...............
In Bimota terms, that's just a minor adjustment _________________ SB6 mk1 (project mega light, big bore)
