Dropped the forks out of mine and reverted back to 7.5wt fork oil and 140mm air gap.

The 10wt was great on normal road surfaces and undulations, but if you hit cats eyes or any high frequency roughness they just went solid and you lost front tyre grip.

There is defiantly a crack in the headers, so let's hope it hangs together for the workshop run.

Got delivery of the Belly Pan, masked it up and rubbing down ready for spraying. New Mirrors arrived from China in 6 days, just amazing and they seem really good.Generator cover gasket came too. If its raining the weekend, i can get these bits fitted, if its dry, iam off out.
