Default Wilbers rear shock installed

I finally got the new Wilbers rear shock in today. I havent been able to ride very far on it as yet ( just around the block a few times ) but I can feel a difference already in the " smoothness " of its' action and the general feel of the bike even at low speed. I'll report back when I have better feedback which will probably be through the week. It took me a couple of hours to do. Not a big job by any means.

Weather permitting guys I should be out on her on Wednesday. It may be the case that I wind the collars down on the springs to get a harder feel. I will certainly give her a good run on Wednesday and report back. Cheers.

Well done Bordo, as you found, not a big job really and a great opportunity to clean things up around there.
