had to be done

[lonner]

fitted new 1.0kg linear springs to the bus today to replace the oe .85's

so hope we have a good front end now

i weigh 180-190 lbs

the progressive springs fitted as standard are daft and the best rider sag i could get was around 45mm.
i want around 30-35mm to match the ok rear so who thought of fitting them springs at the factory needs a slap lol

What'd that run ya?

 

[lonner]

about £120 with fitting as i dont have the fitting kit .

springs were £80 plus £5 delivery so not to bad.

shame the guy fitting them is a lying c+*t as he told me it would be done today but its going to be Monday pm now even though there open Saturday so ill be making my own service tool soon so i dont have to be ass poked again by bull **** bike shop.

rant over

I went up to 1.1kg springs up front. But I out weigh you by quite a bit.

I ride almost every day of the year brother. Put 36K on my '06 in 18 months and then slacked off. Currently closing in on 25K on the '08 after 3 years. Hard to find the money to go like I use to. I just don't sleep

that's some serious mileage

ive gone from a gixxer 1000 k1 to the busa and its hurting my shoulder after 40miles so hoping this is going to be ok soon as its not endearing me to the bike

the riding position is perfect for my 5ft8" size but cant figure the dull ache im getting as i hoped it would feel more comfy than the gixer which took 120miles for the ache's to start

ive just had some physio so hoping that helpslease:

new bike new pain
