Got a pair fit to the R1 this morning, gave them a good thrashing & by fucking hell they feel great. I'm getting the forks k-tech sprung, re-valved & re-oiled for £200 The rear shockers getting a bit worse for wear, so, rebuild of that & a new slightly stiffer spring at £160 A fair bit cheaper than any ohlins stuff, nowhere near as good, but for an 11 year old R1, i'm sure that with the tyres & all that work done, it will feel a darn site nicer -- Nige, 'Candygram for Mongo' R1
I have them on the 600 and they really are good tyres, feel much better than the Avons I used to have. Oddly, the bike now gives the odd head shake when at full throttle on bouncy sections[1] where it never used to. Nothing to be too concerned about though.
