thats pretty cool. even though i have no idea what it is :)
i find it hard to draw anything mechanical, i guess thats why i stick to faces, and more organic subjects. if something is a bit out of place its not so noticable. you have to be spot on in your proportions and spacing to get this kind of stuff right.
Looks like a piston of sorts at first glance, but based on the title, it's obviously a shock absorber. Basically, a spring. If you can't recognize a spring, well, heh. Sucks to be you.
Thanks for all your comments, I havent actually got all the proportions right Staci :p it doesnt quite look like the ref i had to take out one of the coils on the spring and hope no one would notice lol. Drawing people can be very tricky especially things like hands :-s I suck at linking

Edit: then I check the ref and see it's for a motorbike. Well done. :)
