Re: my new bike for the catalonian HISS
The standard drz springs are under sprung for a heavy rider let alone a heavier bike, you'll defo need an upgrade (thumbs)mikeyboy wrote:i have fitted the forks but may need to look at the spring rates and oil as the 650 is a fair bit heavier than the drz the forks came off,i will use standard grade oil for now until the bike is built
Looking good though, top work.
