OK, question time again.

Fit the new springs without Kev fork spacer mod ?
With 10W oil as per description ?

Looks great 'cept for the last stage...a bit too bare IMO.

I think the metal brace on the small mudguard is to stop the front forks from flexing and bowing too much when you brake sharply so leaving it on is a good option.

Do like the look of the bike with out the fork strouds but not too sure about it on the head light area, think a bodged set where the strouds where removed from where the actual forks slide on and then the rest left on. But thats my own opinion. Still looks a cracker bike:ne1::clap:

I think it's still on there & yeah it's a stabilisermajig. OTR has a thicker/stronger version than the OE part.

Good little mods but the shroud removal is a mod too far for me.

Looking good. On a side note, are you running a pirelli rear and a conti front. How do you find handling, does it make much difference.

Yup.

Can't say it bothers me mate, never noticed much difference when it comes to tyres. Even when back in the racing days, i'd happily run mixed pairs etc.

Thanks for the input lads.. i'm thinking you're probably right.

chester0_1972 05-07-10 22:57

Thats good to know. I've mismatched tyres on bikes in the past and some were fine some weren't.
