Shocks.

Shocks. What's the best option to hunt for, if I'm looking for an adjustable one, as I gather that the L model shock isn't adjustable.

Plug sockets are great for shocks :D

The L model shock is adjustable for preload, rebound damping and ride height :smt001

As for the best aftermarket one, ohlins will sort you out for 400 quid, maxton do them too but not sure on price.

Oho. I see. I thought (read - I skim read and misinterpereted) that the L model shock wasn't adjustable at all. I guess I'm probably alright as is then. Hell knows, if I poke the ride height up any further, I'm not gonna be able to sit on the buggerdly thing, I'm that much of a shortarse...

Yeah an SP shock is a good idea! Make sure there is a compression damping adjustment screw on the external reservoir if you manage to find one.
