    MoM's guide to fitting Wilburs

    Order shocks

    When shocks arrive strap to bike, take combined package to BMW Mottorad Cardiff, four hours later pick up package and ride home.


    Bike seems to ride better but it was hard to judge because it was chucking it down.

    I must say I'm shocked and dismayed at this blatant misuse of moderators powers and even moreso the fact that my dear little girl has voted to move my technical post to the joke section!

    Good job I'm thick skinned

    Quote snipped in appropriate place!

    As for the voting 3 people voted so far, I voted to move it to the joke section, now I can't believe that Sharrie voted the same as I know she's sweet and innocent and loves her father, so I'm forced to conclude that you yourself voted for it to be moved to the joke section.

    That's too bloody technical for me - somebody would need to help me take it to Cardiff !!

    Oh and I didn't vote - if I can't understand the technicalities ? how can I express an opinion ???
    2011 Triumph Tiger 800 - "Black Pussy" - MMMM Nice !!!
    2000 Suzuki DRZ400S - "Ol' Yella" - very bright
    2011 Peugeot V-Clic 50cc - "Scoot" - It's my wife's, an enjoyable ride.

    I have a house , but I can't guarantee it's safe !!

    I reckon that's an excellent technical write-up..........especially the innovative idea of strapping them to the bike

    I have voted for it to be in the Technical section..............that forum needs a bit of humour now & again.

    Re: MoM's guide to fitting Wilburs

    ummm tough call...

    1: its a beamer so it should by rights be in the jokes section...
    2: some people do have the technical nouce of of a beer mat (no dig a BM owners!..honest!) and therefore such detailed enlightenment is both effective and well ...necessary!
