For the benefit of the truth.
The shock is 3rd hand. I bought it from the guy selling me the bike who bought it 2nd hand himself. Too good a deal to walk away from.
I've bought 120/180 Tyres. Never said or thought I was a quick rider, far from it I bought the 675 as I'm very rusty on track. I had a slide not because I'm a talented rider but because the tyres in the 675 are 5 years old in manufacture, 10 years old in design and never were cutting edge in there day. Basically the tyre slid as it's shite and it was cold so I've purchased something more modern.
Chinese levers. Just creating conversation and seeking advice / opinions.
Thought a on going review of the bike and any mods might of been of interest, that's all
