Don't know if any of you have seen this, but thought I would post it up seeing as how a few of us are dabbling around with different suspension set-ups.

This second one might seem a bit elementary, but good info none-the-less.

i don't have a suspension set-up, per se; it's really just a smattering of springy bits.  perhaps this would be helpful.

I bought and read (a few times) "sportbike suspension tuning" and it's still confusing.

I suppose some hands-on time would help it make sense, but, that's not gonna happen  [roll] I can't even install my shit, much less tune it

What are you doing this Saturday?  We are going to put all my clutch stuff on, why don't you bring your bike down?  Assuming that is all good and tasty ( [bacon]) with his Macness.

Well, it's not like they can actually make you work.  Not like they could Tristan or myself.

And I was thinking more along the lines of installing your forks, and then adjusting them.  ;)

Or on second though, just sell them to me.   ;D

didn't we have this convo before? they CAN. they did last weekend, in fact. and the month of october.

I suppose I could go to the union about it, since they're not always giving me jobs based on my qual/pos'n... whatever. the money's good, at least. everything else can be secondary.

and why would you need the showas? aren't you looking to out your sport?

He might or might not. I think he's worse than I am, if that's even possible.
No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori.  Good people drink good beer.  Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level.  Everything else is just fluff.

Oh no, the Sport is a work in progress.  Why else would I be looking to buy some forged Marchesini's for it?  ;)

It'd be the Daytona that leaves if I move either of them for an 848.

Nice articles. I've been looking for something to help me make some adjustments to my rear. ;D

Teddy, what fork setup are you putting on?

I've thought about the gixxer fork swap but maybe something else would be better.

there was going to be something humorous here, but, unfortunately, i was in charge of the typing, and this is all i could come up with.

eltristo

i know where you might could find some nice adjustable showas...
