Bitubo, been going for years. Popular on TL1000s' etc. back then. Quality. Not sure if you get to decide on spring like Maxton/Nitron/K-tech etc. But I ain't gone completely Chubby Checker yet so not too bothered.

Yeah agree sorting one end can increase problems at the other. With this bike it will be a razor with decent suspension. Already feels racy.

Front is way too soft for my 100kg. Only good thing is, the bike has great engine braking so brakes only need tickling 90% of the time. I can live with that the now.

Bit of a dream bike for me so dont mind flinging some sheckles at it. (Always wanted a Bonnie and Triumph finally built the exact one I dreamt of = HP, torque, wheels and chassis and NOT SHINEY

)
