Cheers did you use the bolt supplied with kit to hold the adjuster on at front where the original adjuster threads into as i see some people use the orignal adjuster bolt and some use the domed allen key nut cheers

The ones I had on my '05 were just fitted with the brackets. I didnt fancy drilling the swingarm. They were fine.

Just fitted mine and only word of caution would be the bracket and locknut do not need to be very tight just 5 nm of torque which is probably about screwdriver tight, otherwise the rear ie inside beacket distorts.

i think when i was fitting mine i remember in the destuction's drilling the swing arm was for only if you were gonna lift the bike with them on a paddock stand...could be wrong, but mine are fitted the same as everyone else's who's posted on here and never had any problems  :icon_thumright:
