    A little while ago I had the suspension upgraded on the Nightstorm to get rid of the wallowing feeling you get on undulating roads and corners. I took it down to Will Burchell at SWB Racing in Ebbw Vale who has put on YSS rear shocks and emulators in the front forks.
    There is still some tweaking to do but he was off to race in the Manx GP so that will have to wait until his return but already it is much more planted and once I replace the tyres and do the tweaking I am sure it will handle like it was probably designed to if they hadn't used budget suspension.
    A couple of photos taken after a long ride so ignore the fact it needs a clean :p

    Good move. Did the same on the rear of my '14 Storm. YSS progressives ride better and look better.
