Out with the old and in with the new

Was,nt as easy to fit as I thought,but the torque settings seemed very low but I stuck to them.
Ok i,ve taken the bike for a good 30 mile spin and I thought the standard shock was ok a bit bouncy but now the R6 conversion it,s sooo much better handles bumps better and has less squat under accerelation and reminds me I need new tyres a big thanks to Devilsyam for the doglegs and the gumption to make a non standard shock fit !!

P.s Anyone got a front end setup guide now I have a big ass end !

I normally say return front to factory settings and lower the forks through the yokes 10mm
You need a start point as most fck about with the front in the vain attempt to compensate for poor rear
A good percentage of the folks I've delta with over the year are happy with this arrangement
You can take the front further by uprating the fork oil weight or taking it to k tech etc
Just my 2 pennies worth

Nice bit of feedback via email from craig
Hi Luke.
Wow, what a difference. Iv had the (sweet yellow) shock fitted for a couple of days now. It feels like a nippy little 600 now rather than the lumbering barge it was before.
More confidence in low speed manoeuvres, fast flowing corners and everything else. Very happy customer.
Oh and idiot proof concise instructions too. Nice one
Fully restored my faith in my abilities, which I was starting to lose

12:34 pm View detailsHi Luke,

Shocker fitted and it has made a huge difference! Think my license is at risk right now… It corners so much better and goes where you aim it!

Thanks buddy!

Steve.

Did a search on the forum, l then google and I think I have found the info I need but wanted to confirm.

The stock dogbones are 140mm..?
The shorter custom dogbones from Luke are 135mm..?

Im asking because 'I think' when I put the R6 shock on ages ago, I must have put the stock bones by mistake. But this was almost a year ago and what prompted/reminded me is that the bike is running a wide'ish in corners (if I dont lean off the bike) and the front is getting light under heavy acceleration all the way upto 4th after a rolling start.

I cannot believe the difference it has made Luke. I was all for the front being the problem, but all the choppiness has just about gone. Think carbs could do with a balance which should sort the slight too and throw I feel. But ladies and gentleman it is worth every penny to the point where I was going to sell it but now Im keeping it.

Ok good, not going paranoid then. How long are the bones that would have come with the shock..? hopefully they are sitting in my spares box.

devilsyam · « **Reply #548 on:** 10 June 2015, 06:34:12 pm »

Shorter than bothers those

b1k3rdude · « **Reply #549 on:** 10 June 2015, 08:33:29 pm »

Well had a look for the 'other' dogbone and they are no where to be seen, so you have a PM.
