Will do mate If they come this week I’ll fit them straight away and hopefully get out on the bike at the weekend Weather dependant
These just arrived at work They look/feel like like a quality product BLACK springs They are a lot lighter than the Triumph ones Will fit them tonight and hopefully get out for a ride this weekend depending on the weather If not maybe the Scottish bike show next weekend
but theyve chrome and red on them!! Someones hacked Dilli's account. Or have the aliens moved out of his head??
That was easy Now it’s gonna be trial and error to set the pre-load Unlike the triumph ones which are the stepped/twist type these shocks have a fine thread and ring for the adjustment and are then locked in place with a grub screw I’ve set them soft to start with and will see what it’s like on the road and adjust as needed
My mono was one full turn + 2 stone. they came from the factory set to 14 stone. Do you know where yours are set, and how much turn = what weight
Dunno mate Nothing in destruction’s to indicate the turns to weight ratio The shocks arrived with the lock rings loose and the springs loose I tightened them enough to nip the springs but there’s loads of adjustment left on the threaded shaft So a nice road test is needed where I’ll find a shitty surface (easy) and I’ll have a play about with them until I’m happy Hopefully
Set it too the softest setting first then set it to the firmest setting then you will have a good idea on which direction you want to go!
Well I managed to get out on my BPOS today and I can honestly say that these are a massive improvement over the Triumph shocks Did about 40miles (bloody freezing ) and aimed at every pot hole I seen A firm but smoother ride is the best way I can describe them Never got that shock up my spine like I did with the triumph units Have them set up on the soft side and I’m happy to leave them as is for the time being Will know better after a proper day out but if they perform like this on a long ride then I’ll just leave them and only adjust if I’m carrying a pillion or loads of beer Oh yeah...our roads are feckin CRAP
