[QUOTE="steeld, post: 166174, member: 2791"] Thanks for all the help. It looks like I can give my bike a new lease of life by a few farkles and see what Yamaha do in 2008 to stay ahead of the Kwacker Concours. So this is on my list: Possible new seat Possible new screen Stainless steel rad shield (probably Beowulf) Better mirrors (FZ1 carbon effect mirrors already ordered) GPS (TomTom Rider or Garmin Zumo) New rear shock Inner bags for the cases (used but clean pair bought off of eBay) Anything else recommended? My only problem is that I don't know what a good rear shock should feel like 'cos I don't know th difference. My bike feels plenty stable when cornering and quite comfy but if I don't know what I decetn shock feels like, have I got spend a lot of money to find out? I need a new shock soon anyway but will I notice the difference? [/QUOTE]
