Just for info Ade, the rear shock was a very reasonable price (well under 100 quid IIRC). If you can get hold of one for a similar price; well worth it. It took me about an hour tops to fit it including locating the remote reservior, (on the later birds you just need to buy the bracket $7 from Triumph). th eonly headache came when I realized I had not lifted the bike high enough to fit the new shock (after removing the old one).

Let us know how you get on/ what you end up doing.

By the way, have you tried upping the pre-load? The standard setup is a touch soft IMHO.
