Ethel now has a new 30 mm shorter Hagon rear shock. What a difference ! All of a sudden I can get a foot flat on the ground. Moving her around is now a doddle and at last I sit in the bike not on it.
On the move the Hagon gives a firm ride without the plush feel of the original but without the clonk that came from the back over sudden bumps in the road.
Also new are plastic hand protectors. The problem has been that the Oxford handlebar muffs tend to wrap themselvres around the controls at motorway speeds - to the degree that the front brake is pulled on. now she has belt and braces - muffs on top of the protectors. Now the muffs cannot foul the controls or fingers and speed is up.
I had to put a new clutch side heated grip on as I stupidly cut through the wires when trying to fit handlebar end weights. I did not realise that having heated grips would make any difference nor did the Motorworks website point this out.
The plastic fuse cover has mysteriously vanished but a replacement is due today so when that is on hopefully that will be it for a while.......................
