I ran heidenau K60 on my Strom and they were really good on the road and for light trail use. They give good mileage as well. I fitted the TRE mod on mine and it did smooth up the power delivery. Also removed the electronically controlled butterfly from the venturi to release full power in the lower gears. A fork brace fitted to remove alot of the vagueness in the front end.

Hi dubber68;

Where's the best place to source a "fork brace" please ? Any info would be appreciated. Hard to fit on the DL thou?


Thanks;
Pete

If you go into stromtrooper there should be a shortcut but I haven't been on there for a while. The brace was easy to fit.
