I don't know if turning that adjustment on top actually does anything.

Id love to put Ohlins on, a car modified this moto into a bobber, so the rear shocks really stand out, just not wanting to spend a grand on them, and the YSS aren't a whole lot cheaper, soooooo..........

Ad says "asking". Offer 4.5. Mileage is pretty important, something in the 20-30k range, that's still only a thousand or 2 miles a year. And dude who suggested 2nd Gen, if the guy doesn't want to, or able to pay 6k, how is he going to pony up 12 or whatever grand??

So, I haven't heard anything on swapping a different front end in. R6 upside down type shocks? Not sure what is involved to do something like this, R1 ? I was hoping one of you bike fanatics would have a great idea.

So, how did it turn out. Cut it??

Ola, this has probably been discussed many times already, I couldn't find thread though. My front shocks are in need of ? Seals, hopefully is all, 16k on well maintained 02 bike. My question is, are there other forks I could fairly easily bolt in and improve ride, cornering? The install...

That looks almost the same as mine, with the carb caps and the quad. With the stage 7 carb set up, it sounds like a race bike through the exhaust, NASTY!!

That looks like a factory muffler, what "exhaust mod" did you do? Nice bike.

I agree, that's a lot of bike for the money. How did you like the Ohlins? 13"s?. I have been thinking about upgrading, did you get a deal anywhere on them?

Yeah I kinda figured that.lookefd at kit, just four seals in it. Bike only has 15k on it, but forks took a hit when rammed into curb by car. Surprised front end was ok, or at least looks and feels ok. Those seals should fix leaks and spongey front?

So, the stock shocks are 13? Inches. So to lower bike, get some stiffer 12s, or I'm 170 lbs. I would think normal stiffness would be ok. 11" ??. How about doing it old school and either cut or heat up the spring on factory shocks. I'm going to rebuild front forks soon, any tips ahead...

Where in Texas, hell I'll catch a bus today. Or the train, trains are nice.

So you like the Gen 2. Not sure how old you are, but would you have liked it when you were 22 and pushing corners, I guess gen 1s aren't the best corner bikes either. I've been kinda wanting the gen 2, but a little curious about weight and height of them. Anyway, sounds like you have a...

I love the new Kawasaki 900 retro bikes, your dad knew what he was doing!!!

I would think there are a lot of Vmaxs "down under" Mad Max moto. Anyway I hope you get it running. If you have to rebuild carbs I suggest getting a Dyno? Stage 7 jet kit. They aren't the cheapest, but make a difference. And if carbs are apart anyway? I'm surprised a bunch of members...

What is the TT airbox, how much of a increase, difficulty in installation, cost, and is it noticable in appearance of bike. Thanks. Dyno results?

Thanks Wayne. You probably don't have the longest riding season in the world over there. I just missed about an inch of rain with hail in it this afternoon. It was sunny for a bit. PDX.

Looking at aftermarket shocks. What size is the top and bottom mounting hole? Factory shock length center to center is 13 and a half? And a person could probably use a 13" to 14" length shock?? I'm 170 lbs.

Can you add a video with sound of it running and revving. Sounds like you dynoed it??

Sooooo..... *********** rear shocks??
