i think i know the trouble your having nothing lines up! are you building your wishbones up as per the book cause if you are youll be there till christmas! the lower wishbone should be installed with the more angled side forward and build from the top down as your adjustment is all at the bottom

thanks guys.all parts from tiger,spoke to richard at london(very helpful bloke)reckons all like it and said that shock should sit at slight angle(just needs bit of a push to locate.other than that all is ok

rear end now sorted(misses let me out to garage tonight).Spacers tiger supplied were naff (to small for bolt)but found something at work. Starting to look like something now

the spacers that Tiger supplied might be for the front cycle wing mountings, just a sugestion.
