Thanks- it does get used though honest! But it also cleans up pretty well for an old'un.

Its really important to get across to the supplier how you want your bike to ride like after the suspension has been upgraded/changed. Otherwise you might find it turns on rails but is bone hard and that might not have be the desired result!

To clarify my statement there, don't get me wrong, my Monster simply feels more 'alive' than the heavier and softer sprung Yamaha. Along with the motors' character, it's what makes it such an engaging ride that never gets tiring or fails to put a smile on my face.
The fact I physically fit the Monster well means I can easily do 300+ miles days in comfort on it but now the suspension is sorted it just feels so much nicer to ride whatever road or speed.
