Comfort shocks

Battersea said:

I haven't fitted them yet only just bought another bike lift to do the job. My other lift is supporting the BSA R3 that is mid restoration.

Must get around to it but in no hurry right now as not riding, awaiting angioplasty to a badly blocked artery.

That's what I thought until I tried, the Comforts are a few mm longer centre to centre than my standards. You ever tried compressing those shocks by hand, even a small amount.

Funny you mention that - I alway wondered how the Sunbeam S7 and S8, would have progressed if BSA had not gone out of business.

Wish they'd done our exhaust more like that.

Hope to get stent in soon, at the moment its meds that's keeping the flow going. When I had the angiogram the Doc showed me an image of my heart and it had grown three extra blood vessels bypassing the blockage (99%) to give some protection to the muscle. No substitute for a full sized artery but enough to keep it going.

I find the hearts capacity to try and heal itself just truly amazing.
