The update is that it has been -10C around here, so not a lot of incentive to go out and work on the bike :p

O hell no Canadian. Always bragging aboot americans being pussies in the cold. Get your eskimo ass out there and get some shit done.

Well we're looking at maybe 10C (50F), later this week, so I might get the easy part out of the way. It shouldn't take me more than 1/2 hour to 45 mins. to swap out the shock, with how much practise I've had at it.

I'll leave the forks for a bit though; maybe until I can work in my buddy's garage. I'll need more room for that than my little shed provides. I've already pretty much got all the tools and spares that I'll need, now that the crush washers and bolts have come in.

Step one is complete. It took me longer to haul the tools and stands out to my shed, than it did to do the actual job. The shock was swapped and properly torqued in under 20 minutes. I guess there are advantages to both this lay-down shock mount design and in having to do this multiple times before, when trying to mount a previous shock that didn't fit, afterall :lol:

Get more shit done you lazy Canadian. I guess people are lazy on both borders.

Canadians hibernate in winter. Unless they play hockey or Eskimo Bowling, or own a sled.

Or polar bear swim.

There are Canadians that don't own sleds?

Yes, the ones who own snow shoes.

Oooh - looks yummy! Curious to read how those stack-up against the Ohlins/Penske.
