Revolution'd forks in
well I slipped them in sat, dropped 5mm as per rogers instructions, half turn from soft rebound (have tweaked to 3/4 since coming back), took out down various large roundabouts, tight twisties (and bumpies!) very HARD(!) AND IT TOOK IT ALL.
Got a little bounce on in a bend that i took v hard, hence tightening it up slightly more so its slightly harder.
Simply, its a different bike. The rear is shite (as you guys warned me), but the front is just so compliant. It soaks up high speeds and low speeds pretty well.
I know I wanted to do it a bit cheaper, but my quite frankly dangerous bike is now a track tool.....will be booking one v soon!
Roger is god. I sent the forks monday last week and had them back thurs. Brilliant.
At the weekend I will add the 3.5mm spacer. Steering could still do with being a little sharper. Will report back again!

I had my bikes forks done last year by Rodger and not a single hairy moment so far. Done the GSXR750 caliper convertion 2 weeks ago and have a SP1 master cylinder to fit tonight. Wanted to feel what the diffs is. WIth the calipers there are already a big improvement. It takes a bit longer to bite in so you don't get the forks dip[ping unless you realy pull the lever then you can feel it bite. Will letyou know how the master cylinder chnages it. ALready better than the original setup. Next, when I win the lottery is a rear shock and a visit to Rodger for some engin work I think. I have also changed the sprockets. Massive pull, sh?te tank range. 138 true miles and then I ran out of fuel on a highway in France. That is with a K&N and Dyno jet kit.
