Dom I don't think you can go too wrong by getting in touch with Ktec in Coalville. This is just down the road from donington and does quite a bit of work to both BSB and BSS bikes. He's also very reasonable

Dom,

They fitted the 20mm cartidges and fitted a kit making the shock like new with springs and damping to suite me on my R1, making it handle like a new bike. Have a chat with Chris, he really knows what he's talking about, although there isnt that much you can do to the forks but the shock can be replaced or re-built on the 583. I run a 750ss shock.

You changed it then
it had a 750SSie shock on it when i sold it to you, those extra few mm in length make all the difference

My bike has the standard 600ss rear shock[although it did measure the same as my 900ie shock] set up as per the factory handbook!
The front forks i have never touched but they are alot softer than my road bikes.
I run road tyre pressures to. IF it ain,t broke don,t fix it i say.

Brakes, well ive had the lot.No brakes at Castle Combe,locked front in the wet at Donny...........like my new set up though Brembo radial mcyl[more for piece of mind after Combe] and Pfm pads.

If in doubt flat out the 583 motto.......unless its the last lap.......in the lead...........sigh!!!!!!!!!

I found I couldn’t ride through the boom hole flat out as I was convinced the rear shock was at its limit. After riding Alans bike #36 at cadwell the front end just felt so much more stable on corner entry and on the brakes you could feel what the front was doing, with mine it real hard to know what the front is doing and if you have to make a change in the corner the bike bounces about. I know Iv not changed any thing to do with this area yet and I feel I'm pushing the bike to its limit now and I’m finding that the suspensions not keeping up with me.

Some bloke called Rich who works at Louigi Moto set my bike up, so you could ring him

He may even have some second hand bits, or do an exchange with your stuff for some reconditioned items - that would be cheaper than buying new.

See what he says.

My bike goes OK

Well, it did...
