Re: YSS Shocks
TEC do some good bits for the T100. I got their cam (improved the bike no end), fuel booster and preload adjusters. Their fork springs and emulator are ok, but their shocks a very low quality. People... |

Re: Mind is now blown
That was a good watch. Of course Captain James T Kirk explained this when going to a planet inhabited by an alien that looked like a 17th century pirate captain. I guess the Enterprise was faster... |

Re: YSS Shocks
I thought piggy backs were overkill for me. I was tempted by the model up from mine as they had hydraulic preload adjustment but it doubled the price as the whole shock was an upgrade. TEC do piggy... |

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
That looks like Lego circa 1950. I like the JPS colours though :) |

Re: YSS Shocks
Yes, you can state the spring rate, it will be across a range so mine was 88.5KG, standard was 80KG so believe they'll set it up for you.not sure what the next stiffness was but Bike revival will... |

Re: Two Clicks Out
To be fair, if you are taking your front wheel out for any reason, the forks only take a few minutes to whip out if you have the equipment to support the bike the front of the bike. I had an ABBA... |

Re: YSS Shocks
I only knew Bitubo from the forks they did for the S1000RR when they first came out at around £6k :confused: so I was surprised what good value the twin shocks are. I really didn't want to spend... |

Re: I feel sorry for MPs
I wouldn't want to be an MP, you're damned if you do and damned if you don't. Plus any enthusiasm you have of going in to Parliament to make the country better and fairer soon dissipates when the... |

Re: The SV
I got my new K3 SV650S the day I passed my test (I was a late starter at 35!). It was a bargain and looked great in blue. The Remus can used to echo off the building in London and I loved the back... |

Re: YSS Shocks
Just one thought, why not give MCT Suspension a call. Darren reckoned we could get a good setup on the Bonnie's front with a change of oil and air gap. If you get the shocks through him, you might... |

Re: YSS Shocks
ah, that's a bugger on the shock options. If you speak to bike revival, they will contact whoever you want to use and will ask for a suitable spring for your weight. Mine was 88.5KG. Front springs I... |

Re: YSS Shocks
Dave, if the spring rate is wrong it's a bad base for the rest of the settings. The emulators I got were £80, compared to the cartride kits around for £600. The emulators are adjustable (just a pain... |

Re: YSS Shocks
Did you go for the YSS? I've now got a Bonneville andwent for the Bitubo shock which I really rate. I did use YSS PD emulators in the front forks and they are good quality and work well. Not as... |

Did you do a comparison on prices. I went to Curry's and looked at a cheapo oven but the Curry's website was £75 cheaper :). Ended up getting it a bit cheaper at AO online. i don't think you'll save... |

Re: Happy Birthday Balky001
Thanks for the birthday wishes. It's the big 5 0 so feeling a bit old today! Like the reference to Carry On, I've been known to use a double entendre or two myself :D |
