Very entertaining vid. Just found this as I was contemplating changing my OEM rear shock for something a bit better. Don't think I'll bother! It ain't that bad really.
🤣🤣🤣 CB, I was crying with laughter watching that, so reminiscent of my last TMJ with Dave Doom when it took us 2 hours to drill 3 holes to fit 3 small bolts to a fender extender where the foam glue has failed. Especially impressive was your comment at the end that it was only 4 bolts!!!! I can see why no one else has made a video of this installation, could this be your claim to fame??? Now be honest how long did that TMJ actually take for 2 of you to undo and retighten 4 bolts? I've got a feeling a new world record is in the wings. Many thanks for the entertainment I'm now going to send a link of the video to Dave Doom. Long live the TMJ brotherhood 👍👍👍
What do you mean? I think it was verging on top-notch mechanicing. Only issue was poor tools and poor engineering on Honda's part. They obviously don't know their customers - or maybe they do (remote bolts, lock nuts 😉). I think DrJ gave the time away at the end - 2 hours. It was bloody cold or it would have taken longer. Anyhow Scarlett is complete - most likely... 👍👍😄
Top Notch Mechanicing? There's hope for me yet! obsolete As regards the bad language you edited out of the video, have you been following Dominic Cummings or was it a glass too many of Turrets? What would your mother say??? I can't see your TMJ's stopping there, you definitely need a new project. Put up a short video asking your faithful followers what you should get next. Just don't get rid of Greta! KK
I had typed, now that you may have done the last TMJ on Scarlett is the CFMoto 650 GT or 650 MT for £4999 pulling at your passion strings? You & DrJ can then exercise your TMJ's on the finest bike designs from China rather than Japan for our entertainment. Just don't tell Scarlett that after all the cosmetic surgery you & DrJ have performed, she is now obsolete with the launch of the new NX500. These Hollywood bikes are prone to meltdowns & tantrums if it's something they don't want to hear. Put this bit in the middle of my message above and it may make sense after 10 pints.
I like the CFMoto 450 MT. But it looks like the engine KTM didn't bother to test/release so I would not rush into it. NX500 is okay, but just a CB500x with a TFT, so not really an upgrade if one already owns CB500X. Que sera sera as Doris Day once sang so famously! 👍👍

The 500x replacement out now and only a hundred quid more I’m definitely tempted 😎👍
Yes it's nice. Not enough upgrade for me, but if I didn't have mine, I'd go for it. The new CFMoto 450 looks interesting also. 👍
Thanks for the installation entertainment😂,look forward to hearing about the YSS shock's performance over the stock unit
Hopefully the weather will assist... soon! 👍

Job well done guys.
Well we got there in the end 👍👍
Were you not worried that that 'hooded yoof' might nick your bike when you weren't looking?
Skid Row paraphrased: We are the youf gone old! 🤣
@@CodgerBiker Ah. Skid Row. Not heard of them in a while.
Then you don't sit in a house listening to Planet Rock all day with your cat. 🎸🎵🐈
Hello. You replace the one rear shock with Yss without upgrade the frond forks ? Thank you in advance
The front was acceptable. 👍
@@CodgerBiker yes but I think k the rear shock with re front fork must cooperate. Just that I know
Stock shock has no rebound damping. As with many Japanese bikes soft rear shock, hard front.
@@CodgerBiker so they cooperate together ?
They are built to a price I guess.
