Hi wondering what you're main aim is? Is it handling or ride comfort. I ask as the stocker is terrible for comfort which is my main concern (keeps kicking me up the arse!). Also how much will it cost you to get it to Aus and where do you mount the remote?

The shock makes everything better, it really does. The shock comes with a bracket that attaches to the left side passenger rearset up against the frame.

Hi Blanchy, yeah both mate
Plus more adjustability within the shock for setting it up to suit me rather than settling for the std unadjustable one.It turned up at home yesterday. Here's some pics:
The last pic has the bracket for the remote reservoir in the bag.
Oh and postage was $100usd and it only took 3-4 business days.

Scotty I don't know if I mentioned this before but make sure you cover the swing arm with something soft during the install. The paint on the swing arm is really soft.

Well at this point I'm not doing anymore cosmetic or power mods to the bike. The rear shock will be next, but I really like the convenience of the hydraulic preload adjuster on the Ohlins. Perfect for when I load up the Givi's or carry a passenger. I'm just having a hard time justifying the $1k price tag and they never come up on the used market

I'm not even close to being done.
