Default Re: Winter Mods!!! (Califblue)

Yeah the suspension is next on the list! I've got the Gold Valves already (compression and rebound), springs are on order. Once they get here, I'll pull the front end apart and revalve everything. I'm one of those DIY types, if I can possibly work on the part myself, I will . Got the tools to work on the forks already, just waiting on the parts!

The rear shock is an Ohlins unit from a newer SS. Works awesome already, feels much more 'planted' than the stock Showa so I don't think I'll be doing much to it, unless its seriously unbalanced w/ the front end after all these mods.

One other thing I did to the bike this winter was to swap on the stiffer swingarm from a 2003 SSie. Very easy swap, pretty much dropped right on.

Haven't thought about doing the motor mount bolts, I've seen them mentioned a couple times but the drift I got on them was that they weren't THAT noticable on the newer model SS. I'm gonna post a new thread on that now...

Nice CR too!
