    There is a suprising level of engineering in springs and shocks... The diameter of metal and coil, with the number of coils and the type of coils....close together vs far apart vs combinations... if you chop a lump out then it no longer reacts the same way. length of metal and disipation of forces etc etc. So yes you can do it but then the coils will not react the same way. Making it to soft or to hard or not fast enough in reaction etc etc It is not dangerous in the basic sense of the word. BUT remember that they dont just stop the wheel bouncing. they also affect breaking distance and la

    Well we were caught out last night....... I was on my way home outta London. I know it was wet from the trip in... if you see what I mean. I had witnesseed the water coming over from the other carrage way. So i decided I would head home in plenty of time after a quick trip to the ACE Cafe. Plodding along and before you know it I am thinking that rain looks like snow on my windscreen and then litterally as I pop out from under a bridge..... Whhhhooooommmmmpppppfffffffff It aint arf snowin' Cars and bikes abandoned on the hard sholder. the lanes were all under snow and I am captain of the

    Ok so I must admit I cant remember off the top of my head for the rear antisqueel ... anyone else??? If doing the rear discs as well then may be do the bearings at the same time. All accessable at the same time when you take the disc off the back. makes sense really, but not essntial! All parts are fine to refit. If it worries you then replace them. After all you have to drive it not us! GSF dont do a kit as such but you can buy the discs and pads for it all seperately. Fitting is very straight forwards just remember to take the top off your resevoir and drain a little fluid if needed.

    It could be and does sound about right... for the engine mount.... otherwise I would have thought that the work you did was the solution. Only one way to have a look at those mounts though.. The other thing of course is it could be your wallet under hard acceleration as it thinks of the fuel......

    I was going to say soemthing didnt sound right. You ned to always have at least 3 threads above a nut to ensure it is fixed securely. So that'll be coming off again then..... good luck

    Not meaning to teach youto suck eggs or infer you are driving badly.... if your brakes are hot and you apply the brakes again the contrast in heat can do it. It was a common problem on old Novas. Basically what you needed to do was once you stop. take your foot off the brake pedal. This gives enough time for the environment in the brakes to sort them selves out. I dont mean to say you are not braking correctly. It happens when you go around a track for example. they get hot and whilst the rest cools down your foot on the brake means that section particular remains at a higher temperature
