How come no reviews?

I ordered frame sliders from "Speedymoto", also makes axle sliders.

On the oil in the forks, the book calls for different amounts in each leg, but I emptied each leg in a ML measuring pitcher (500ml) and put back little over that amount. The inside of the forks has a sleeve to keep the spring from buckling and the oil over flows that and the fork leg if you compress the fork all the way. Book does not have a call for air gap that I could find.

I made notes, it was 375ml or cc (same thing) for the left leg and 450ml for right. Both forks was much less than the book said.

Thanks for the info. When I get some time I may do some experimentation

ST, did your fork job noticeably improve braking dive? This is my only burning fix-it item and I don't want to buy forks for a brand new bike.

I never had much dive! I'm 185 lbs without gear. Do you have the rear shock preload jacked up? I went to full preload, then backed off, think I am 4 full clicks back from full preload.
 
Correct. Clockwise. Adding preload to the shock will load the forks.

We should be going for correct rider sag, 30% of travel. But the non adjustable forks throws a monkey wrench in the deal. For someone in the 160 lb area I think they might need to at least replace one spring with less rate.

In Summary: A bike to play and ride some (in that order).

Panniers don't make this a long distance road bike, and it is more of a play bike. Sport bike feel with great engine, versus smooth roadster.

Raw efficiency that rewards the ones that push and exploit it. Precise and agile in the twisties. Some lack of front end feel. Powerful brakes. Center stands drags on hard cornering.

Comfortable, but small windscreen is not miraculous.

Let me know if you want me to translate more around specific elements!
