Not really. Most of the higher end shocks like Ohlins and Penske have the remote reservoirs on braided steel line to make mounting them easier and yeah for easier adjustments.

At the minute, we can't find her.

Anyone seen a tall, short, fat, skinny, black-ish white chick with sort of strawberry blonde/brown hair. Her eyes are brownish-green and bluish-brown.

Her shirt size is extra medium. She answers to the name "Bubba-Modine."

The bike looks good because it hasn't been f****d with.

Keep it that way.

Before buying all kinds of useless crap for this 11-year-old bike, spend some money on getting the suspension and tires sorted out. All a rear cowl does is nothing. It won't help that pig handle any better that's for sure.

Don't listen to your "homies" and get squidly and screw it up. It has potential as a classic pretty soon. There aren't many of those left in that kind of shape either. Most importantly, don't paint it or put tons of stickers on it. Buy some rashed bodywork if you want to go that route.

Think about it.

Thanks for ur comments Nut.

what can i do to the suspension to make it better then?

the tyres are practicaly brand new, so they wont need changed for a while.

rear seat cowl is purely jus to tidy the rear up, iv decided against it now tho seeing as it aint just a cover but a full replacement which i dont want.
Bubble screen will serve a perpose as the screen is pretty low..

Cheers snOOpy

wont be getting any new paint so no worrys there
