Help! Bike isnt right

Post by PBBoxer »

Ive had my bike repaired by Jeffires in Shipley and they did various things including changing the suspension arm.
The bike feels lower than it did and when i go over even slight bumps it feels very solid and even makes a metallic clunk sometimes.
Does anyone know if the bcr suspension arm is a different length to the standard s please?
Its pissing me off is this, they didnt even change the rocker cover until i hassled them

Yes it is!! It is shorter than the standard 1100S but the same as a Sports Suspension Package. I've just measured my BCR and it is 365 mm from centre of mounting bolt to centre of mounting bolt.

Good luck!

methinks that's the same as the GS arm??

(and the custom arm Gromit is selling me... ;) :D)

Nice to see you move so quickly to Gromit's sale :wink:

Jeffries have fitted the incorrect torque arm and this has caused problems in the drive. they are picking it up tomorrow.
