But if it's cheap nasty stuff it may attack the rubber shackle bushes

I always buy from a motorbike shop and check it says O Ring safe, (chain lube)

Peter, if when you fitted the front end SSL you set up the spacers to give better sump clearance on the Roadster...as this raises the front arch to wheel gap, it will emphasise the lower gap at the rear even if you don't have 'saggage'

Thanks, good point. The SSL front (which was done for me) certainly improved the ride and handling at the front end, but I have since been of the opinion that the rear isn't singing from the same songsheet. At next service/MoT time, I will be using a different specialist to do a general revamp of the suspension. It will be money spent that I wlll never see back, but will make me more likely to hang onto the car.
