The fact you have a bike is justification itself ;D 8)
Bikes are only for cool people remember! ;D ;D
I was looking intoa front end upgrade on the VFR and was looking at Ktech,.....................I'm saving up ::)
ComfySofa:
Never had any ktech stuff - ive almost gone that way a couple of times...the rsv4 has been the most impressive change in handling but having said that the z hasnt been setup properly yet...
Laverdaroo:
The VTEC is a bit of an issue as nobody makes any aftermarket shocks for it except if you want manual adjustment through a c spanner. I tour a bit and like the preload adjuster on th erear so I can alter to suit really easily.
To that end, I managed to find a really nice second hand unit from a guy in the states that had come of a crashed 2006 VTEC. As it was in the states, I had it sent to a chap who will match the spring to your girth, rebuild it with seals and new internals meaning i can keep the manual adjuster. With everything all in, I paid $250 for the rebuild, $124 for the shock and it was just postage on top. The fact that I can now adjust not only the preload but the rebound also means the bike should be transformed once fitted later in the year. I've done all the brakes with steel lines, new clutch, pads, service, the lot. Just waitong to get the fork internals and its back end swap, possibly January. Need to get the 550 rolling first.
ComfySofa:
Yeah - youre like me....i like the 3 way adjusters and the hydraulic preload....way easier to make adjustments while youre out and about....handy when im at the TT!
