If you could make them bottom out at a standstill they were either seriously fooked or badly adjusted...or both !!

Mind you Marty, you could make a Harley Hard Tail bottom out

lee, even carl could compress them to the bottom...........

the artexing has fallen off......
time for a rethink......

ee, even carl could compress them to the bottom..

Not quite to the bottom but a good 1/2 to 3/4 the fork travel. Standard forks are shite. The only time I had them bottom out is when hitting a couple of large potholes and then they properly bottomed out, metal to metal.

All sorted now though, my forks have had some Viagra.

if your forks have viagra, shouldn't you have painted the tops blue.........

Toady I had a play with my carbs

Put the BMC filter back in. Installed some new float valves, Put slides in with a lift hole blocked in each one. I got to say it feels much smoother I tweaked my needle heights to accommodate the BMC. I'm ready for dyno day now.
