  1. I have racetech shocks front and rear.  My a arms are +3 +1 with long travel shocks.  What preload and rebound settings are a good base to start with?  I do not know a lot about suspension and setups and I want to maximize the setup.  This is the information Racetech provided.  Thank you..

     

    SRSK AYAYFZ3588F IANN483  IFP/rebound   Sport  +3/+1

    IFP (Internal Floating Piston) shocks with rebound adjust.

     

    Setting as follows:

     

    US-1 oil 2.5 wt

    100 psi N2

    Reb: 25 clicks out

    Top spring: 5.3 kg/mm

    Main spring: 1.8 kg/mm

    Combined spring rate: 1.34 kg/mm

    Preload: 15mm 

    Sag: 99mm

  2. I like the flying tips too, but i see them getting snagged especially when cleaning the bike..

     

    My issue was the front brake mount right was landing right on the bend of the handlebar putting the lever at an extremely awkward position.  I swapped out the 130mm grips for 120mm grips and I was able to move the throttle housing over which gave me just enough room to move the brake lever mount to a “normal” position!

  3. Ok i went ahead and cut them.  I guess they are ok, too late now 😄!  I cut the back “tips” on a angle as opposed to leaving them “flying” as a see many guys do.  Also there are my CR bend dirtbike handle bars.  I figured out my issue with the front brake lever!

  4. Yours look awesome Claude, I’d like to see your rear cut profile when you can..  I am looking to see how far in your cut is made and how you transitioned the very back of the fender (did you cut straight back or angle the cut)?  Also did you shorten the bottom left side to match the bottom right side?

  5. Happy New Year Heathens! 😎

    I run Pro Taper SE cr mid dirt bike handle bars on my banshee with their clutch lever and perch.  I want to run their front brake lever and my question is will the dirt bike front brake lever work with the oem front brake reservoir?  Any one else running a Pro Taper front brake lever?  Pics to share?  Part #?

    Thank you- Mike
