    New shocks and springs just arrived 850R


    so I can't fit them as I've got a dodgy back...and I've bought B6 Bilsteins...Hmmm..maybe I should have thought it through a little better!

    Where did you get them from , ? I am just about to do the same on mine
    Though I think I will be getting B4 as they are a bit gentler for road use . Unless anyone has advice to the contrary.

    No worries.
    I'm busy myself at the moment, doing Jamesy's this Monday then need to work for a couple of weekends to earn some beer tokens.

    Give me a shout with a bit of notice and I'm sure we can sort something out.

    Same as mine, but I've Poly'd subframe, meyle hd drop links, meyle ball joints, ally wishbone with polys. (Poly'd everything else while I was there)

    Handles much nicer now

    Got the koni yellows / eibachs on the 855r, might even track day it.
