No unless your forks are FAA certified this stuff will not work. The rule for post resurrection is "only if you start with BITE ME". The...
Nope, only works on shrunken or worn rubber seals. Does not fix mechanical problems or pitted forks.
I drain the old oil, clean with new, add the Granvilles and fork oil and go riding. If it still leaks then the seal has been torn or is beyond...
Hey you think the VFR seat is bad, try a Stock Ducati! My ST4 gave me prostitis from the ball smasher position. My hypermotard was even worse,...
Yup I agree here, I dropped the front 6mm from 5 and real world measured at 27 degrees, but we're talking FCH measurements. I think this horse is...
Use the old racer trick and put a zip tie around the fork tube. Slide it to the bottom and ride, the tie will slide up as the fork compresses,...
Hi, I posted a photo of my F2 front rim being machined down ~6mm on each mounting point. Its not hard, and any decent machine shop can do it. It...
Did it have a high "loogy" content? :biggrin: Also try some WD40 on that sun faded left control plastic. Rub it in, then spray again, do this...
Just a quick update on the mod. I have about two months of riding on it now, in the mountains, and commuting, and all is well. I replaced the...
still planning on this, have a new job that is up my "free" time now.
I used the 43 tooth that came with the rims. It is very close to the same ratio as the stock 45 and 18" rim. At 6000rpm I indicate ~78mph now.
I'm in the 170 pound range, I haven't experienced any issues with the forks springs, they haven't bottomed, and aren't too harsh. I guess I'm in...
I never could get the plum level or protractor squire. I guess springs a matter of taste and riding style, I would rather have soft springs and...
I corrected post, your right .58 degree, cheap shit calculator did arcsin incorrectly, f*ckme!:mad:.
Does anybody know if later model year front fenders will bolt up to the 1986 Gen 2? It looks like maybe the 3rd and 4th gens might. Thanks....
So basically, when you do the wheel swap the rear drops .5 inch, the front drops ~2mm, the geometry is about .00056 degrees off. By dropping the...
I'm re-posting this over here, for greater visibility. I've spent some time applying all of that math I learned years ago and here is what I've...
Leaking fork seals are due to to either wear or shrinkage (yes I know), either way oil is squeezing past the seals onto the fork slider. This...
I would be cautious about making too many radical changes to geometry on these old bikes, they seem to like being as close to stock as possible....
Yup, helps to keep new rubber on. I still had the shake with a new BT45, my bike just didn't like those tires.
