Thats good to hear .
I have found the handling benefits the same with my forks through 30mm, but have run out of clearance now, no clunk or metal to metal, there is a few mm of rubber seal to go before that . I did a couple of emergency type stops which found another 10 mm of travel so will run for a while at 20mm .
Although the damping is noticably better the banging off ridges still gets to me. Has fitting the R6 forks improved or changed that behavior?
I will probably do the Ravenrider mod next as its free and should help in the clearance issue.Will try a change to 2.5 wt oil at same time and see what that brings
It will also give me opportunity to check how much oil I have in there, I know I increased the amount last time I changed it and that had sorted out the dive on braking but mislaid, forgotten, didnt take notes.
Yes, a big thanks to Kebab and the others who post their experiences with mods, its made me enthusiastic about my Fazer again
Doing the suspension mods, altering the stance and Ivanising the motor gives you a different bike, I wasnt sure if I would like riding position but after 3hrs of B roads I found it really good , my back appreciates the little cant forward .
Looking forward to your update.
