well after a two year absence from the 1150 in now back 
as much as the tiger 955 was a great bike it just wasnt for me so it was sold after i was presented with an 1150GS for a very reasonable price
it has that certain crustiness of a bike that has stood and not been loved for some time
but beneath beats a solid heart 
the shock were Very tired so that was the most important job to be done first so it was decided after much negotiation with the petticoat Government that i would be allowed to make this investment .
now Nitron UK suspension specialists have worked with RuggedRoads to develop a shock for the africa twin that really is a stunning piece of kit
and they have been applying the same principle's to the shocks for the GS
so as soon as they arrived the spanners were out
out with the old
in with the new
on to the rear
ive put about 350miles on since fitting them and the difference is amazing the bike feels tight and composed and turns so much sweeter
had a day of work yesterday and went through valve clearances , plugs filters oils etc balanced the throttle bodies , remus Y-peice and Genesis can i had from the last bike as well and its now running really sweetly
when i sold my GSA i kept hold of a few bits as i was sure it would be a matter of time before i was back on a GS
so the next job is to tidy up the fork legs and yokes and fit my fatbar kit on
source some luggage , over time tidy bits up to get it back up to scratch
im one very happy bunny
oh and these BAD BOYS returned from the powder coaters yesterday
