Hi Folks ,I fitted an M shock and some hyper pro fork springs too my rt mono this week.
So far I have covered 200 miles of bumpy Shropshire,and I must say the m shock is very nice indeed it has adjustable rebound and compression damping controlled with one adjuster ,the overall finish is very good it has a nice solid feel about it and seems a very well made unit,they come with a range of spring colours and the usual c spanner and fitting instruction and the shock is made too order so its built too fit your weight over all recommended,I got mine from http://www.bike-revival.co.uk/monoshock.html or you can go direct too www.shock-factory.com it was £15 cheaper from revival.
The fork springs from hyperpro are very easy too fit they come with instructions and a bottle of 20 wt oil which I should never have bothered using, it was for too over damped,so I drained it and put 12 wt in which was a big improvement but still a little harsh,so I am going too change for 7,5 wt and hope this will be a good compromise on a naked bike.
The ride and handling are vastly better,however it was on the original springs and rear shock and as every other moving part of the bike was buggerd its no surprise that its much better.
Here are some images of the shock on my bike,which is ready too take apart and finish of over the winter the rear mudguard and light are going,I need some silencers as this pair don't belong too me and a splash of paint
yep I know I have ruined another classic rt or maybe I made a box full of rusty and oily bits into a motorbike again
