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!!!!!!!!!

Understand and learn what m8.?

Surely Dom needs to feel comfortable on his bike first before he starts to worry about going really fast? His shock may be fuxxored for all we know, so I'd recommend that the least you do is get it serviced and setup with a spring to suit you - so at least you know that it's working as it should and the adjusters are going to have an effect!

[Dominic Clegg]

thats the thing i have no idea if there working properly the bikes over 12 years old and no ones ever touched them
