Re: Back on the road. Yehaaa
He's a right one to talk. Well done done Flatty.
all you need now is a coerce brace to stiffen them up a bit. Did you use the Gold valve kit as well? I bet it feels good to back out on the road.(:-})

Re: Back on the road. Yehaaa
yes it does, although I tottered around for the first few miles waiting for the front wheel or something to fall off
All I have changed are the springs to K-Tech to match my weight, they are not progressive ones
Used 7.5 oil
Didn't bother to change the seals or anything
What is surprising is that I haven't even played around with the settings and it feels planted

Flattie, BigVeeGrin fitted K-Tech weight related springs to his Storm yesterday and needed to cut the standard spacer down, by 10mm on each leg, to be able to get the correct static sag. Good luck.

Re: Back on the road. Yehaaa
Sounds good mate. For some reason I thought you fitted Racetech springs, that why I was wondering about the valves. You did grind the rod to a taper as suggested by Sir Roger D though.All I have changed are the springs to K-Tech to match my weight, they are not progressive ones
