Yep, these are the ones from China. Here's a few pics...
VF500 Bodywork/Lockhart lower for sale, possible trade When I bought this bike a year ago it came with an Airtech lower in decent shape. It will...
If you still have rubber brake hoses and you can feel any part of them swell when you squeeze the lever then it's time for an upgrade to SS lines....
My new rotors came in today. Fitment was perfect. They were straight as an arrow. I'm probably going to get new pads. Current ones are EBC but...
His sig says he's got a 700.
I have an Acewell on my Yamaha Cafe. It works pretty well, but for the vintage Yammie at least I couldn't wire certain things like oil light due...
Go for the Fox. It's an awesome shock. I've had one on my VTR1000F for about 8 years and 40k miles. Had it serviced once in that time. I find...
If you want to get it out, you'll have to heat it. I believe they're inserted using heat and the knurled texture of the metal holds it like barbs...

In the UK? I'd start with K-tech and see if they can help: K-Tech Suspension, road race and offroad motorcyle suspension. Do they sell Racetech...
Honestly, don't waste your time with progressivley wound fork springs. They're not much better than what you have now. Go for a straight-rate...
I've got a VF500F, so I don't think these will work. I went ahead and bit the bullet on the ones in post #13. Will provide a full report once...
Anyone jumped on these yet? I'm about to take the plunge. I have one front that's warped and the rear is grooved. I figure get a set of these...
