Just spent an hour waggling thefront. I recon the front shock looks off. Just by a gee hair .
Putting the RT front shock on. At least I know their true.
If it works out, I'll stick the side stand from on the r850r onto it to make it parkable. The shocks are on eBay.
Anyone know how to factory standardise Ohlins?
Ps. hello Peter.
Pps. ffs
Ppps. road tyres? Big grin
Ppps. Their's a twist in the bike. I feel it. I'll post pix at some point but she rides great. Don't know what I'm complaining about really.

I'm putting the rt shocks up for sale...as soon as I get my rear shock sorted.
pitty hear they didnt work out for you
I've ordered a hyperpro. Should be here in about two weeks. I've still got the rt series rear shock on. It makes the ride a bit odd.
As a few of you might know, I've chucked the bike round a bit and it's taking for ever to get everything sorted.
Since I put the rear shock on, I've bought a corbin saddle (love it - didn't cure the handling), got a new front tourance and checked the front shock oil. They were different levels. Tidied those up and now bike running true.
So, I'm just waiting on a rear shock. Really want to get motoring properly again. The rt shock is a
very humbling experience.
Ps. Hyperpro will use your existing remote preload
Mines just a standard shock...yes I'll have to take the shock off the bike if she want's to get on but maybe that'll be a good thing
If I can sell the rt shocks I'll buy a front shock...

I really hope so! Can't wait to get the new shock.
a couple of pix...like I said, it's an rt shock and it's quite cruiser like (with handling to match!!!)

Seat looks well
It's very comfortable too. Putting in an order from motorworks for a few bits and pieces, finish it off so to speak. Might also give the forks a lick of hammerite after a rub with some wet and dry sand paper. Must do something about the top box...it's really ugly but on the positive side, it can carry a lot of beer

what shocks you end up with
Just the basic hyperpro rear shock. No preload. Could not afford the extra two hundred sterling.
did you not have any joy with getting them rebuilt in dublin
Yes and no. Franck in mototechnic had a look, he took it apart and found it was unrepairable. It was too far gone.
might have look sendign mine to uk some time as dont have casht o buy new
