You'll have to drop it off at MPE up near Coloundra yourself and give him your details and spec..
Just let him know you didn't get it to me by 1 March.

Picking mine up tomorrow..It'll go well with the newly rebuilt front end (new heaver (read: fat bastard) springs) and rebuilt gold Brembo's, new pads, discs and painted rims :D
If it's not made in China, it's a fake!

Yep fitted the R6 shock last week.
Heavier damping to start to deal with squat and a little less in the mid stack makes for a nice comfy ride and can actually feel the hi speed damping kicking in now on those big hits.
The Thundercat forks with shim cartridges I’m really happy with too.
Around 40kph the rebound is a little fast with the progressive springs but as speed increase the rebound improves and was quite surprised how well it all came together at speed.

Nah, I'm about typical in weight so didn't think there was any need. Did you go for that option Rod?

I was just wondering how it felt after the rebuild V with a heaver spring, I've a "race" prep-ed original (bought already rebuilt) in my other TRX and these two are completely different, yet they should feel similar..

Pretty sure the other shock also has a seperate valve in the rebound circuit Rod.
Is it a bit more harsh than the one rebuilt by Paul???
Separator valve help to stop some of the squatt throttling out of the corners but a bit more for dirt bikes.
