FAO Danny.
How did you find fitting the K7 shock? Reason I ask is I have one and have had it fitted but wasn't happy with it at all. I know its a known upgrade but mine just wasn't right. The linkage was at such a steep angle there was no movement in it at all. I have seen another bandit with one fitted and it looked to me he had the same problem....How is yours?

I moved the knuckle to the centre stand mounts, then used longer tie rods, req some grinding etc but worked perfect

Slabby Racer 2 fitted with one. Had it refurbed at Hagon a year ago. Only original bits returned were spring and main body. New damper rod and seals/internals, oil, gas. 107 quid returned in a week. Wonderful service. Only drawback for racing is that damping adjutment is not instant. needs a few miles before changes settle. from the Hagon's mouth.

I did consider moving to the centre stand mounts, but I use my c/stand all the time for maintenance. Using c/stand and engine bars is the only way I can fully elevate my bike easily on my own......

I have Hagon twins on the real and progressive springs on the front of my GSX1400. What a difference. Tried riding my mates 1400 and it was shit compared to mine. My rears have inner tube stretched oveer them to protect them.
