Well I put her in for a major service on 26 April and she is still there.... Asked for rear shock to be refurbished and turns out the bloody thing was completely buggered once stripped took a while to get a replacement (it's a 996 showa and they don't do them anymore) Although the weather has been hit and miss I really am dying to get some miles done before I disappear away for near 7 weeks! I have ordered a Nitron shock as I wasn't spending on an ohlins, besides the Nitron is just the ticket having looked at the info let you know when she is back and need to post some pics...next job is paint scheme, probably back to good old red
