As the title, any one used the shock tube, the aftermarket Honda hugger for the CB500F is very short plus cleaning in there is awkward with one so I thought about the R&G shock tube plus its a third of the price, so any one used them at all please?.
Thanks

Huh, it appears that I bought a shock tube from eBay last night.

But why is the rum gone?

I rebuilt my forks and put neoprene gaiters on. That was about 15k miles ago, I'm sure they're still fine...

I bought one of these and found it to be 100% spot on.

Already have hugger extender, but want one of these as well. I'm a clean freak.
