Originally posted by mark749s have been out on the bike today, the handling is completely different, you would not think it was the same bike. That is with 4 lines showing i.e. 16mm poking thro' I had already set the sag to 35/30 front and back am very pleased with it now. my only regret is that i did not use a chain block to suport the front end and that i did not check the tightness uf the centre clam on the triple clamp you live and learn
thanks for the help

Yes, i have those setting my Duc too, and really like how that bike behaves now. It's really worth it
I would have thought it would make things a lot easier Jools to taking the front wheel out, for a start you reduce the weight of the whole assembly by more than half.
Hmm,mebbe,but in my experience,as soon as you release the clamps those forks slide through very easily! Make sure the clamps are torqued up correctly.Its very easy to oval the fork leg.
If you leave the wheel and fork assembly all together, you should be able to just loosen everything up and let it slide through together. Then both tubes would stay even, hu?? As far as torqueing everything back down, do you guys use a specific value or just a "feel" thing?? I would think you want them tight but guess you don't over do it.
Wonder how much difference I would feel going from 3 lines already to 4??

Nah mate.(I think we have been here before!) Just need to sort out the sag and ride height.
