Quick tidy and sort out in the shed ready before I pull the covers off these two. Plan is to build one very nice storm out of the two.

New shock arrives tomorrow went for a YSS MZ456-345TRL-07 due to budget.

Keeping hold of the used OEM one just in case…. not sure if they can be refurbed?
Also ride hight is ajustable by 5mm on new shock was going to fit a 4mm shock spacer so wont need that now.
