OK. I'll work on digging them out this weekend. Pretty sure I know where they are. If it gets far into next week without me saying something,...
The dimensions for the 290 seem to compensate for your problem. Other 37MM forks the 238 were initially designed for may use damper rods with...
Give me a day or two to get out one of my "MISC FORK" boxes where I have some 500 damper rods already extracted. Also, the different height...
I noticed the FT500, which also has 37mm forks, also lists PD238. So it's not a one off mistake in the catalog. Doesn't mean it's not wrong....
Looks like I better crack some VFR forks apart. And dig out some 500 damper rods. I don't want to go thru this in the future when I do a 500 (...
Different preload spacers for the same pre-load. The YSS valves I bought for a 1986 VFR (not installed yet) that has 37mm forks as well, was...

Seems to me you could have lost that whole rear section. A non existent passenger doesn't need heel guards. [ATTACH]
[ATTACH] Hey... wasn't that a 750? Oh yeah... [ATTACH] Is it the exact correct font? Nah... [ATTACH] Pretty decent and close enough for...
Cool.
Kevin Schwantz helmet on a VFR... Blasphemy. Same thing Freddie Spencer and Nick Ienatch said at Freddie's school. That was funny. And then...
Ok... Real ride. [ATTACH] After some clicks on the rear shock, everything is cool. Really cool. [ATTACH] About 100 miles after work. This...
Lunch break at the Future of Flight parking lot, overlooking Pain Field and Boeing with the Cascade Mountains in the distance. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
It was likely rusty and somebody "KREEM"ed it. Even if the prep was done correctly (which I bet this wasn't), KREEM does not last forever,...
