Re:
I don't feel confident drilling metal fenders I had more courage to do so with the plastic fenders of the T30 exy which can be easily patched-up and taped-up if needed LOL

Re: The Black T31
All you need is a shed with decent lighting Scot and a few nights with not much sleep
Jalal, drilling through metal I actually find easier because the pilot hole is more sturdy.

Re:
They look to be the same size bore.
Are they a longer shock Todd to allow for the lift or standard length?

Re:
I thought you'd got yourself some awesome camo-painted shocks for a second there! But nope, those are the dirty old ones, haha. I noticed the outside section of the shock is actually shorter than the original? Most piston rods are only as long as the component/cylinder they are in, so does that not mean it will have less travel before compressing to the top? I'm probably just confusing myself :/

Re: The Black T31
One question at a time fellas haha. For the 12v light I ran 6B&S cable through a 50 amp circuit breaker from the battery to the boot.
The shocks have exactly the same travel as original. The top cover is just longer on the originals.
With the shock off Tony you could only get probably 5mm extra travel out of the swing arm anyway. So longer travel shocks is probably not a legitimate option anyway.
