i was thinking the same thing but i'm not entirely sure how to, maybe kj or chris can?
Ah, I see. Static sag is a relative starting point, that is supposed to be repeatable, not so much a definite. If your static and free sags are within the correct range, or percentage of travel they let us know the spring is appropriate for that bike/rider combo. And the damping curves should match that spring. But what they don't count for is rider preference/habits, tire choices etc. That's where fine tuning, rider feedback and reading tire wear comes in. And Dave is probably one of the best in the industry at that. I send him pictures of tires a couple times of year and he helps me figure out what is happening. Amazing guy.
A .95 kg/mm spring would be pretty close for you in the forks. I'm still running the stock springs on my Vmax, but this winter I'm looking into emulators and a different spring. Probably run the .95 myself, although the calculator tells me I should run a 1.0 kg/mm. I'm not really looking for cutting edge performance. But I will get ahold of Sean for some shocks. I bought some mufflers off him recently and it was a fantastic experience all around. He takes good care of his customers. Something that at times, seems to be becoming rare with people selling stuff.
Sorry. All I typically discuss is suspension and track time and I have a bad tendency to do it where ever folks ask questions. I'll behave now.
Thx, I like them too LOLI like that rear set, Prez !!!
Why 20mm? Cuz I've had some scrap pieces laying around. Secondable it does look cool, and I was worried about left side - stock left footpeg plate reinforce the frame so you may call this a "safety move".
I agree its hell of the piece of metal but - its still lightweight!
I considering puting those rearsets on sale in future - who knows!
I only need to finish passanger footpegs and they gonna be "foldable" (right word :ummm.
