  4. Am I right in thinking that a good replacement shock for mine is from an ST4, slightly longer ?
     
  5. Hey guys n gals,
    At last starting to get her back together, would've been started sooner but both me and SWMBO went down with that crappy orrible virus thing that's going around, totally lost our voices at one point, didn't bother me but she suffered and being a radio presenter she wasn't overly chuffed !!! sounded like Tina turner on speed !!!
    Anyway, I'm installing all the wiring and quite frankly I'm struggling, the photos I took stripping it are crap and I need some help, is there anyone in the Sussex area, Crawley ish that would have some time spare to help, even if it's bringing yours round so I can see where stuff goes/routes,
    The manuals etc are little help, I can provide bacon sarnys tea coffee but I draw the line at kinky sex, gutting I know but hey that's life
    Any help would be appreciated and if pushed I could wear a spangly gold thong but THATS IT !!
    I think you're all lovely except EL T who's a scary nutter

  9. Here we are then, some of the fine detail is not 100% accurate but it's better than nowt, (not too clever with sort of show, so presume I just upload attach and all whom wish to do so will have access?) Here goes, hopefully they'll prove of use:

  13. I'd not heard of this before, anyway working on mates ST4S (knackered clutch, disposable slave unit? what a crock!) sat there for minute or two looking at the rear shock it looks too fat and a bit short for SS/SL use, he's ordered an Oberon unit so I'll be round there again shortly, I'll take my tape with me this time to confirm.
     
  14. Are you going to make the Horsham Bash ?
    Oh by the way seeing as you are in the same town as me, be on the look out for an 1199s or Streetfighter in matt black and give us a wave :)
     
  15. Thatll be really useful cheers bud :thumbsup:
     
  16. @Cupid Stunt No wont be at Horsham as the bike wont be back together and ive also got to go to my fathers in malvern, not so good at the moment.
    Ill keep an eye/ ear out for you, im off Tollgate hill :thumbsup:
     
  17. Not far from me then only 5mins round the corner. All the best in Malvern
     
  18. finally got back to mates shed today, here are the approximate dimensions as best as I could with a tape measure. (took some dodgy pictures sorry it's an ancient phone, 1 & 2 are the btm mount 3 is looking up to the hydraulic pre load collar) the bike was on it's ctr stand with rear wheel removed.
    ST4S Ohlins unit:
    Length Eye to eye CTR 310mm-315mm
    Spring dia 80mm
    Shock dia at preload collar 70mm
    top eye ctr to spring 100mm
    btm eye ctr to spring 70mm

    in case you don't have one to hand:
    900ss showa unit
    Length eye to eye ctr 330mm
    spring dia 90mm
    shock dia at preload 74mm
    top eye ctr to spring 85mm
    btm eye ctr to spring 65mm

    hope this helps?!
