Well I've just took the first step to acquiring an ironman SL by sending westcoast an e-mail with my requirements, tried to replace the bushes this morning on the front shox ready for the MOT next week, did one side in 3 hours, what an absolute ball ache, first of all to remove the old bushes which are the steel/ rubber combo type by burning the rubber off then sawing through the metal rings and knocking them out, when I came to fitting the new bushes they wouldn't go in all the way, dispite using a vice to press them in I was left with about 5mm short, so it's all gone back together eventually after quite a while trying to line the bolt hole up, one pack of cigars later and some very blue languge it's done, so I thought bo77ocks to doing the other side I'm oredering me one of them there Ironman kits and just hope it scrapes the MOT, only job I know needs to be done is to re-wire the rear fog light, with it being an import after market ones have to be fitted and mine is fubar'd !
