nice ..really prefer black tho'..my bike ain't that clean !!!!

P.S big thank you to Brian for the bars truly like new !!

I checked this and other forums and went with 758's...bought them on here for £30 incl pnp..like new.


cut 20 mm off each end with angle grinder,drilled the hole for leftside switchgear.. piece of cake

well said Mike I was beginning to wish I'd never started the thread .. let's all call it a day ....

update on the Wilbers shock ...have done a couple of sessions around local roads sorting out the front end (finally)..and now the new shock and the front end are working really well together...


Wilbers shock with spring for my weight is perfect ..rebound damping spot on..set from factory...rider and bike sag cock on for me..I decided on the basic shock as I'm not likely to need low and high compression for my requirements..


Verdict..the Wilbers is like the difference between stock shock and R6 mod shock..that much better again..Damping is very sensitive one turn up or down is a noticeable difference as I have tried minor adjustments while sorting the front out..Wilbers spring is easy to adjust having played with it just to see..Quality bit of kit..


Not saying the shock is all singing and dancing but the road ride is loads better than with stock or R6 shock,not surprising as it's built to your weight etc..


Front now has Ktech linear springs 9.5..with 10wt fork oil..settings are compression 8 clicks out from hard.. rebound 10 clicks out from hard..
rides like a different machine...


Well happy 
 

i'm 20 kilos heavier than falcon (Mike gtx) that's why I'm hoping the new shock will outperform the R6 setup..will deffo post again after a couple of weeks of riding

well I've decided to get a Wilbers shock and it's on the way..I'll let everyone know the difference (if any) between the R6 and custom


built shock.. be pissed off if there is no real gain from the new one 

I hadn't thought about getting the R6 shock resprung etc..or perhaps a rebuild on the OE one which only did 25k miles


Any recommendations for rebuilds etc ??(loads on t'internet)


Once I have enuff info I'll decide whether to go new or rebuild one..could always sell the R6 or OE shock


Thanks Guys

Whoops..obviously there is a spelling error ..ha ha ha 

good relaxed meet with trade stalls and lots of food etc ..got me a new seat for the thou from Digger Seats who were there..bloomin lovely ride home less bum ache [size=78%]!![/size]

Anyone going??

Fitted Ktech 9.5 linear fork springs 10wt Castrol oil and away I went..took an hour of stop and go to get adjustment set for me (spring


preload 2 rings compression and damping 10 clicks toward soft)


Can't begin to tell you how confidence inspiring the bike feels now..went through the twisties from Malvern to Ledbury then Monmouth


to Chepstow and on to Usk..Taking bends is so easy,no drama with corner braking no drifting wide just planted.


Thanks to all you guys for the advice..still got some minor adjustments to go but springs are well worth the money
