Yes, I know the parts you mean, I also have them here - there being 3 basic means to achieving a similar result. One of which being epoxy, which I tend to not see as something I want to do any more - I just do not like any glue or otherwise inside oil, and besides the part is not bank-breaking to ...

Hmm, comparing apples with apples? One can fix the ZX Ohlin's SD's very simply and cheaply; but like all work, there is work and then there is work, so are we all quoting for the same work>?

It is not a matter of revalving, as they do not have a valve like a shock or fork does, it is more a matter ...

A quality shock is a quality shock for a reason - usually to do with the sum of its parts to how its design works, and of course the amount of spares one can easily buy/lay hands on, so as to keep it keeping on as the miles tick by beneath the tyres....

For 20 odd years, for me , Ohlin's & Penske ...

It is easiest with parts availability these days to just swap caps and add in some purpose shaped/cut plastic spacer, often with proper springs at same time - to make and fit spacer for the OEM cap takes longer IMO..

Nah, you're not. You could buy a shock Gold Valve kit, sure no problemo, generic 40mm piston, easy. But the fork cartridge for the 2007/8 6R is a non-rebuild-able design. If 2005/6, then no problem valve away, although it should be added that 2005 compression pistons offer a similar amount of flow ...

Yup, will be here until 7, so see u @ 6..

Somehow I have managed to completely cap my 200Gig bandwidth until tomorrow, so no Yahoo access (coz it chews); but KSRC works (!) somehow... :shock:

I think I have what I need to know about the 6R now, from now on it is just a matter of tailoring the results up n down 5-15% with little ...

Web page can sometimes go down - not sure why, as I am not that internet minded...

Email works, but I let slip that email from the 22nd of last month; sometimes I miss the odd one.

Firey's bike has not done that many laps as it goes - haven't even ridden it on the mundane commute home - it has ...

Hmm, a KA803-x should be 0-12mm over stock, so yeah, should be same length or longer...

The spring is a little different, the valving too - lengthwise you'll be wanting max (expose groove and no more) and maybe some spacing under the frame too (about 5mm).

What I cannot think of at this time of day is whether the ressy will fit all snug or not - check visually your self on that.

if ...

knobbly right knee?

would these fit on a first gen?? how would they go on the crim??

Just curious as I have a first get shock thats been revalved, resprung and had the piston changed as well and It feels pretty bloody good with every quarter turn making a considerable differnce.

This shock was from a Gen. 1, I did ...

Aha, I remember that shock/customer... haven't seen him in a while, I thought he sold the entire bike to IK? (OCAU)

I thought about this thread last night in Woolies - interestingly the other way around, with the check-out chick enquiring into bikes and riding them and then fessing to wanting to ride one etc (ad nauseum); so I said "why don't ya" (got to say something, can't be rude hey) and she replies that she ...
