Hi, I got my Daytona 675 shock professionally fitted last week. Managed to find an 06 model in very good condition, paid 100 pounds, not sure if that is good or not but in comparison to the 500 or 600 WP or Ohlins need, I think it was good value. In my case there was no need to change the standard spring as apparently my weight was within the tolerances required. (85kg)

The bike sits 7mm higher, it is noticeable but slight and if anything improves the riding position, as your knees are not so bent.

Riding impressions. Difficult to give an accurate impression yet as I haven't had time to really test it properly. Initial impressions are good, supportive but not so harsh over potholes, more damped. Hope that makes sense. I also think there may be a psychological aspect to the improvement too, as I was throwing the bike round more on the way home from the garage, leaning it more, being more adventurous, not sure if that is just me but...

Hope this helps.

Cheers. Greg
