quotes yes yes i am feeling this one they suck big piles of poo! i bought mine from a very well known tuning company and they had already been "tuned" rode them till i could put all my weight over the front of the bike and they would not move in! no matter how many lower lubes i done still shit! took em back and i got told I twisted the lowers! took them away after paying another 110 pounds to have them re serviced they still took all my weight and would not budge! had them professionally checked and they were not twisted so back i went and guess what? the hole in the cartridge side has been drilled off centre! so new lowers and happy days right? NO CHANCE! after three rides getting sticky again so back i go and after three days i get them back as supple as any fork i have ever had! turns out the holes are drilled out wrong on every single pair of boxxers! you can feel it worse on the r2c2 because the lower rod inside the leg is thicker and does not bend so easily! that is why they ramp up so much! dont believe me? next time you do a lower lube insert the cartridge leg with the lower rod pushed three quarters in and shove it down to the bottom of the lowers and i bet its out of line with the location hole in the lower!

quotes i know... spend more time getting the forks to work right out of the box so no need for third party tuning companies to get certain triple clamp versions working lovely! dont worry so much about looks so that you can make them a little cheaper instead of---- oh wait now they look better they gotta be worth more now right!

quotes wow putting this up has had a similar reaction to kicking a wasps nest!!! i think it will be like the minidisc revolution it was a good idea but everybody already liked good old cd,s so it faded away again!
