    I've got a garage night planned for this Saturday. So I'll get some pics done. I've got a pcv to fit, LED rear lights, Gipro Gear indicator, rad guard, gilles chain adjuster, hopefully a pipercross air filter, flapper mod, and also the pillion pegs to get junked.

    Just hope I can get it all done in 1 night. Doubt it though :)

    I learnt quickly on these garage nights, on big jobs now the plan will be to get in turn the phone off and lock the door ;)
    See I go all soft and invite every man and his dog, and then wish I'd only invited the dog if you get my drift, but our November garage night is more a social and a bit of suspension setting, this one could be fun? 11 in my tiny shed :) unless I can convince the wife to allow me to bring the bike into the dining for the evening, What's the odds of that then?

    Now there's an offer, a garage weekend in Wales no less, we would have to use a van though, no way would Bats ride this time of year? Bikes may get wet, and no one likes to see a grown man cry ;)

    Well what i was getting at with the hugger do not buy a carbon 50 quidder off ebay as there made wrong and rub on tyre booo had to rip mine off and bin it!

    Now thing is i hate the massive honda hugger think it makes the bike look ugly so i bought a second hand standard one of ebay for a tenner and sure enough its miles away from tyre :)

    Well this is what i done today :)

    Right folks after having no look with finding anyone i sent me shock to maxton took em 2 weeks to make mod and setup a spring kit for me!!

    One thing i never mentioned to anyone i bought a 2012 shock over a month ago and gambled it would fit me 2011 linkage and swingarm and guess what it does well pleased! Just ordered the 2012 hugger also as this will finish it off :D

    Right chaps this was what maxton said about it after shock dyno it knocks spots off the 2008-2011 shock its very good only when its worked really hard for a long period of time does it lose comp and damping due to heat so for the road its a good up-grade! not as good as maxton unit or ohlins etc but this mod has cost me 110 notes for shock delivered:D:D and 80+ vat for maxton spring etc so i am well happy!!

    A couple of pics of today :)

    Excited!
