yep need an ohlins and other misc' bits

[Jonno]

Well its had 3 heavy weights riding it and 2 of those are a fair bit quicker than me, it looks ok in those photos except the T9 exit one, must be getting too hot and under power it fails. Probably why many havn't bothered with the stock shock.

Once again fantastic responses and help guys.

Jonno, for whats it worth, if it was mine i would get steve to do the whole bike, that way he know's what going on in the front as well. when i put the TTX36 on mine, i just changed the spring, and it still wasnt as good as the reworked and sprung OEM.
With steve he will set the whole bike up, so he will need to know whats going on in the front anyway.
When i dropped my bike to him, he asked question's no one else ever did, things like how hard do u brake, do u carry front brakes into the turns, how much corner speed do u carry, hell he even asked me about front pads, as in did i change them when i put the ohlins in, which i did, he took a quick look and knew i was using power sport pads... that opened my eyes...
I was having trouble with the bike wanting to swap ends at turn 1, which is why he asked.
At the end of the day, u want to get the best u can out of it, so it stands to reason that u need the same guy to do the whole bike, so he understands whats going on, and that way u can ring him anytime for advice and u will get the best possible.
If ur coming over this way, the best thing to do is arrange a time with him, let him know when u need it, and what track/s ur doing, so u get it for the rideday, and im sure if he's free, he would prob come up to broady and fine tune it on the day, as he did for me.... it was the best money ive spent on my bike........

Good to see you kept the Number Mate...

i would get steve to do the whole bike

I will when I get the time

Changed my mind after a talk with Marty and a really long chat to our local guy who explained the dynamics involved and what re-working the oem unit would do as he has had success with this shock already.

He didnt talk me out of an ohlins but he made sense about re-valving the stock shock (with separator valve) and re-springing the bike at a fraction of the price and it would be unlikely to know the difference for some time at my level at least, they are doing the steering damper at the same time.

Unfortunately there has been a delay so I would need to prep the 6R this week, however my work load is getting larger by the day and the impending doom of time restraints weighs heavy, so it is looking unlikely I can make it to Broady on the 28th

But I will try.

It makes perfect sense to contain bad luck on the number on the bike and not to ride it on fridays around black cats
