I keep going to work on the bike recently and yesterday i felt a bit rubbish and the best way to resolve this.... Go for a drive i only went for a little one i decided to give the suspension a little b road test and again not disappointed its lovely and so stable at high speed it now (dare i say it) feels better than my old one i think because the 172 was so light at high speeds it was always twitchy but this one just feels lovely only thing that is bothering me is the ride height i am going to lower it today if i can if not the back will have to come up a few mm.

And now

It's 20mm higher due to the way the top mount sits but we'll see after tonight if not to get the "look" I'll have to get the splitter which I do wanna do eventually
