The wheels are turning, shame about the shock!!

When I got the bike it had Yamaha FZR400 wheels, but when I upgraded the forks it became apparent that I had to either use a thinner front spindle and use spacers in the forks, (this was due to the bearing size of the wheels and the dia of the R6 spindle), or obtain better wheels. When I spoke to Steve Ruth I mentioned about the wheels and he was sure that he could get a pair of old TZ wheels from the Late Geoff Sawyer's place, and sure enough he called me a few days ago to say he had 2 fronts and a rear. This means I will still have to use the FZR rear with the original sprocket carrier for wet tyres, and the TZ with the 5 cush rubbers for the slicks. The fronts would not be a problem as the bearing size will allow spacers to stay with the wheels for ease of changing.

I had taken the shock in to a reputable place in Bury St Edmunds for a service, this was a bout 5 weeks ago, so 2 weeks ago I called to see how things were going. I was informed that they were just about to get on it and would it be a week or so, however after a further 2 weeks wait I called again only this time they said that they could not get the shock apart to carry out the service. Now I had to make all the calls to them even though they had my number, and 5 weeks is not a good service in my books, needless to say I will be picking the shock up this week and will not be going back there again. I have put out a plea on the Supermono website www.supermono.co.uk for a replacement or after market one but funds are quickly fading, but Im sure there will be a savior one way or another.
