Neil, Sorry to use your post as a 'Personal planner' ! :thumb:

Dont know if you have drove one with it before but does make loads of differance winkeye

The one I bought for the cab is on the tourer.. couldn't be bothered to bend the shaft to fit the vibration damper.
Fitted the tourer easily.
Makes a big difference ..

Guys its ont he cab and im loving it, managed to do it witht he old collar bush etc.

Went really well to, Only little thing that happened was that i fitted the stick round the wrong way cos someone had fitted mine incorrectly intaily and the stick always sat to the right of the consol (stu atleast we know y now :lol:)

All sorte dthough and im well pleases anyone who is considering doing the short shift mod its well worth it and it would take a hour tops to fit :cool:
