The shocks came with bushes to make the bolt holes smaller, but I couldn't make them bigger. The original bushes were moulded to the rubber, I did not want to force them out. If there was a way they could have been made to fit without causing damage then I would have done it. The supplier is now talking of giving me a refund instead of an exchange. He doesn't seem as clued up as he should be for a parts supplier.
I will email him after the new year to clarify what's happening.

McZed - Is your bike a Z or KZ ? The KZ model mountings were slightly smaller for some reason - I had the same problem when I bought Hagon shocks - fitted the KZ but not the Z. Managed to get them on by putting the bushes in boiling water until they were pliable then, with considerable force, jamming them onto the bike.

The size of the holes were miles too small Zoso, there was no way they would fit. Got a reply from the German supplier, he claimed to have the correct ones for my bike. I sent them back to Germany at a cost of £41.00, for an exchange. Then without explanation he refunded my money, but not the cost of postage.
VERY POOR service in my opinion.
