Well thanks to some elbow grease, and help from Tipsy, my new shock is in and it is a different bike to ride!
took the bike out myself, and then took teela with me to test it out, and works very well, IKON make a very good shock, the only thing we found it is not as simple as pull it out of the box and put it in.
Start on this side of the bike and remove the Pannier and plastic & Seat
You will also need to loosen the exhaust off as well, don't need to take it off just loosen it so you can get to the bolts around the shock.
as you can see by the photo below we had to grind the sleeves on the bottom of the shock to get it in, we had to take off about 2mm off either side
i dont have photos of the rest as we where trying to get it finished, but i can also say remember to put the shock in with the dampener showing outwards, otherwise you get excellent practice in taking the shock in and out again....
make sure you keep the bike on the centre stand when winding up the shock after you have bolted it in, makes it all very easy to do, we just took it off the centre stand to test the resistance, and put it back on again.
apart from that, it is actually a very simple operation.
