As already mentioned in another thread - time to plan the year ahead. SOF - Massif Central and Pyrenees were absolutely fantastic last autumn (thanks for lots of travel tips from everyone here) so thinking of eastern France - Alps into Italy this year, unless we throw caution to the wind and do Spain - Portugal - Morocco.
Last trip one slight niggle was rear shock bottoming out a few times on bad roads surfaces up in the twisties, causing some unexpected peg scraping and subsequent worrying. We were two up with luggage, so a bit of weight on the bike. Spent quite a bit of time on suspension setup, so think I had this set as good as it would get.
Would a rear shock upgrade improve on this problem? Is it worth spending the money on a bike I might swap in the next 12-18 months? Are there shock upgrades I could transfer to another 955 Tiger if I chose to go down that road later? Also - could I do this myself ? I've got very limited spanner time, but enough patience, common sense and stubborness to give it a go.
Anyone got any suggestions to brands / tips / advice / (anyone got shock upgrades with remote preload adjustment)? I know a couple of you have done this, so I'm interested in hearing your thoughts.
Thanks in advance
