Just got my forks back today. FINALLY! I got a trackday on Monday at NJMP Thunderbolt. Going outside to put the new forks on and finish buttoning everything up

 

if it takes you more than 10min to post an after picture, you fail and must donate $ to 'zilla

 

haha. I've never done it before so I'm going to take my time. Will probably take me just as long to put the rear wheel on with that stupid frikin rear brake that's always a pain to fit

 

MORE PICTURES NOW

be sure to take pics of the process and how the bike is before the fairings go back on.

What kind of mods do you have? Other than the visible jardine pipes, sato rearsets and brembo mc?

 

I hate mounting the rear wheel. I think I curse more in a rear wheel change than I do in a month of normal life.

I think that's it... I have some unknown race fiberglass on there for the track with a matching tank with vortex gas cap as well. Spare set of sp2 wheels with dragon supercorsa pros mounted. Also have a wave/lightened rear brake rotor on that one as well.

Gonna head outside now...

*EDIT* Forgot the latest Mods for the forks!!

 

It's pretty simple. Take off the brakes, remove the wheel, remove the fender, loosen the triple clamp and clip on bolts and the forks drop out. Installation is reverse.

Race glass like mine and his come off in less than 5 min.

was the rear shock worth the money?

i have the suspension tuned for my weight already (185 with gear) but ive been hearing all these things about it not being good enough.

also, was the speedohealer cheap? I have +3 in the rear on a 520 conversion and my speedo is like 10-15 mph fast depending how fast im going

the set up is done though so i may go back to stock but i like the power im getting

 

Yums!

woah now I don't even know you

I learned that I suck at safety wiring...

On to the forks: The top out springs made my forks longer so I dropped them a line to keep it raked out for quick turn in. Now with that my shock sag is screwed up as well so I gotta redo that and the forks...

 

Is that one of those new hover bikes?

 

good stuff mang! i'm hoping to be doing the very same thing within the next month.

 

well done... and done correctly

Thanks... If you're going to do it, I've always said do it right... I shudder to think the amount of money I've put into this thing but I have a **** eating grin on my face every time I ride it.

 

But what does a ****-eating grin look like? And why would you be grinning after eating ****??

Unless it's Miranda Kerr's ****. Yum.

+1

I had to do this with mine as well. I knew the bike looked a little tall in the nose but I didn't realize by how much!

 

Only one notch?

 

yup, just 1 line. It's closer to where it was before the mod but I'm afraid to go much more without seeing how it runs as is on the track.

 

I rode my bike to tech this morning with it dropped 2 lines.. I immediately knew it still wasn't right. Dropped it one more so 2 more from what I used to run and it worked out great:

 

That's a race bike... good job

next stop, lighten those rims

 

For your enjoyment, this was on the grass right as you pulled into the pits (this track has only been open 3 days):
