:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: What a riot! So I had a pet skunk as a kid (named flower no less). The reality is that of you clean it as best as possible the rest is really time. you will hear everyone say tommato juice, piss and so...

Well, ok I love the PR2's but I will be lucky to get over 5000 miles out of a set. I should qualify, this is the most I have ever got out of a tire, the next closest in milage was the Strada's at 4000 & 4500. just to get an idea of my specs. I weigh about 165, ride reasonably aggressively and...

alternatively you could just bondo and paint my scuffed up bag. Its all good.

Its always sad. My pup of 16 years died about 2 years ago and I still think about him.

I have an 04 that was involved in a lowside and the painted portion is scuffed up and the rubber stripe. I bought a new one. the back side is just fine and in fact the bag still functions. Name a fair price plus shipping and I will send it off to you. -k PS you sure the subframe is not bent?

Gawd! Ok so I understand what your saying now but I dont get the results. i am not going to sleep now.

Sportryder, Wow that was a great explanation! sorry for taking so long to respond, it was a busy week. Turns out I had preload and rate right in concept. But one thing I did not understand properly is the relationship between the two springs in the shock. After reading what you wrote I had to...

hahaaha :rofl: :rofl: hahahahaha :rofl: :rofl: hahahahahahahaha :rofl: hahahahaha :rofl: :rofl:

Just once in my life, I would like to walk into a bar like that.... and be liked :) then I can die

Well that is just sad to hear. Sounds like a really piss poor accident. My condolances to the family :(

Its pretty amazing isnt it? I liked Mladins attitude towards the whole issue.

Right so, what you are saying is that the advantage of the aftermarket is more flexibility/variability in the total preload options. Thats a valid point but I guess what I dont understand is the difference between preload and spring rate. I mean preload is how much you compress the spring but is...

haha! :lol: cheap Mexican beer! :rolleyes: I was wondering if anyone would notice those sitting promenently in the background :rolleyes: Thanks for the comments. It is a shame that the stock shocks are SO damn disposable and only last for such a small number of miles. I suppose we are...

I find that under hard front breaking in twisties if your in the right gear, compression breaking can pretty relaibly take the place of the rear break. In fact as the weight of the bike gets tossed over the front end you can start to loose rearend traction.

Lee, dont worry bout my feelings, I appreciate critical comments. Now I know more about the shock than I did. Since I have your ear, tell me, I understand in the literal sense that the "selector is not changing the preload on the main spring but is selecting an internal spring/s. Functionally...

Seriously dude, you need to come over to my house and clean the puke up off my couch :puke:

Axeman, I know your pissed and this is really crappy but.. dont let it get you down. People who do this kind of thing are just not worth gettin pissed at.

Well I was wondering if it was spent but it is kind of a surprise. even new however, I felt that the suspension generally was a bit wimpy relative to a sportbike. I knew jwilly did his swap, was hopin he would pipe in here as well. For me it really was about the cost; while disposable like Igy...

Dude the slab? whats that :rolleyes: I never ride on the SS. The only reason why I like the SS is that it provides a place for all the cars so they dont have to travel on the state and US routes :) . I imaging that you could have a problem with the Gen 2 shock on your Gen 2 bike. I have never...

As sportryder points more elegantly than I, there are some differences. In my opinion they do make a positive difference on the suspensions performance.
