Matt-Man Posted April 4, 2017 Author Share Posted April 4, 2017 Finished re-vamping this old shock. Looked pretty scabby when it first arrived, leaking oil and covered in corrosion on the steel body. A service from my local suspension guru sorted the leaky seals and grotty chrome. 20 mins with a scotch pad, some laquer and a new sticker.... Job done. Quality bouncy parts at reasonable price. Happy boy.... Looks good as new too !!! 2 Quote Link to comment

Matt-Man Posted April 27, 2017 Author Share Posted April 27, 2017 So.... One more step closer to completion. Just waiting on the carbon bodywork from Zero Limits... I'm beginning to flap now as it's still not even in the country as far as I'm aware... Don't really need it for blatting round Donny... But it would be nice !!! 4 Quote Link to comment
teltwosheds Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Sweeet. Makes my my kitten look like a turd even without it's bodywork glad I ain't tried polishing it hahaha. Quote Link to comment
Matt-Man Posted April 30, 2017 Author Share Posted April 30, 2017 It's the MAG gathering in Salisbury this Sunday, so thought I'd sort out a seat unit of sorts to use while I'm waiting on my body work ti arrive... The plastics I have are a tad scabby Si time ti make them half decent. A few hours later and they've got a couple of coats of Satin Black !!! Fired the old girl up today too, to make sure everything was ok, the TLR clutch pushrod has some excessive wear so the interference fit is way out and the pushrod seal is weeping a tad... A new seal and rod is already on It's way ! Shakedown run tomorrow !!! Quote Link to comment
Rncv Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 so far so good, shame about the bodywork not being here yet! 1 Quote Link to comment
