This is a bad thread for me.... can't look away...... Yesterdays "look" resulted in me looking at Belstaff stuff again...... but being old I need something broken in (can't wait to have the cool, but not trying to hard look).... so went off looking.... now $400 poorer.... I hope the original...

As a bald person.... I'd have the piss taken out of me 24/7 with that lid..... ("Chrome dome" is a popular slang term used in aussie land to describe a bald head or a completely bald person)..... And once the stream was underway.... there would be no stopping it.... other body parts would...

My wife takes the piss out of me...... tried your solution.... I don't recommend it (posted from police station).

I'd preffer a little bit of italian with my american big bike.... https://www.bikebound.com/2025/11/10/hf355/ Would be awesome for a triumph rocket meet up.

I don't understand, you wasted beer money? I'd just get the beer and never look back.

I got lost on these posts once somebody said "beer".....

Post the coming apocalypse, when your only remaining sustenance is a case of coconuts, you'll wish you still had them fitted......

I can understand that..... even when one starts to talk 200mm ish suspension travel on "cross over" type bikes a reasonable proportion of that can be miss adjusted, wrong spring weight or has to cope with "off road riding extremes (ie landings from jumps etc)". Both my R9t and this R18 had...

For me, scraping went away with the +20mm Wilbers shock. As far as the forks go, I've not read anything from anybody much regarding the forks (mostly just the rare person doing wilbers fork springs).... nobody even seems to check fork sag etc ( mine was fine after the new springs). I'm the...

Mmm... the Biltwell got me thinking... nice... and for some strange reason cheaper over here.... that never happens...

The op's bike has 19/16s (23)

Black leather wrap would allow one to approach the training with some dignity.....

Fwiw... I went stainless.... not chrome... so maybe I can polish out a little oops scratch.... before the final solution of powder coating.... though a wrap initially of some sort for the training would make sense. I went these...

Wilbers +20mm shock for me. Raises the bike and 115mm of shock travel (90mm stock).... removed 95% of my peg scraping and a much better ride on poor roads. Smashing througn the twisties is 62% improved (couldn't help myself).... And.... you need some pipes, dna filter and a tune.... maybe...

Condensation? Shorter rides cold climate? How does it look a few minutes after a 45 minute ride? Anyway... with the circlip....

Not much preload on them.... what I'd call normal, I just put a rag on top and lean on them a bit... fork fully extended off course. I have a theory that the earlier bikes (20 to 22ish) have thread locker on the fork caps, latter ones may not.... the thread locker made the fork caps the...

Congrats, you should find scraping will be reduced a bit as well. Fwiw, I used their fork springs as well and added yss emulators (better on potholes etc).

The spoked wheels run tubes.... I have a rotating thing on my air hose that makes it easy.

I took mine for a ride today and took the time to reflect on how the front tyre is going. I have about 2,000 kms or so now on the 5yo unused 19" adventure tyre that I had hanging in the shed and decided to fit (all ratings were ok) . All is going well, lots of grip and makes the bike very...

Fwiw.... I have black ones on my r9t.... there a bit marked now and I'm about to buy a kangaroo black hide to wrap them.... then wax the hide and use a heat gun.... water and bugs no issue then.
