No not on purpose. Oh well the secrets out, I moonlight on an orange bike.

That one has a much more finely tuned high perfomance engine than those other orange machines. . And no PDS, :laugh:

I can see it’s a speed machine and the rider is obviously a Orange craving temple of sexual fitness

Added new Seal Savers this arvo, to hopefully protect the new seals,,,,,
Spoke to Al @ Newcastle DB Dismantlers , where I got the savers, and the forks done, He reckons the OBT flyer has been getting some interested lookers lately!!!! He says a few blokes have been writing down the details etc,,, So hopefully that equals more OBT members round Newcastle:)
Wonder if that`s how Seahorse & AL heard about us ???????

I heard about OBT from another site.

By the way, talking about cost of getting your forks done. How about this.

Forks into Kawasaki Connection in Cessnock.

Heavier grade springs, new seals, 10w fork oil and labour.

$460 :ohmy:

And no bloody pensioner rebate!:angry:

CRIKEY,
Glad I went the cheap option at the moment, cost $165 for service, new seals, oil.
Thought about the bigger springs but $$$ were tight
See ya Sunday Al

Sounds a bit on the heavy side, springs are what about $180 or so I think, fork oil couldn’t be more than $60 set of seal same say $60 at the absolute most, leaves $160 for labour, I think its top dollar but not fully ripped of if that makes sense? :blink:

My seals were $24 a set, Oil about $37 all up, sliders were machined/polished ?$$$ then the service price was $110,,,,,,
I`m happy with that:)

Took it for a test ride today out around Tumblebee. Definate difference. More “solid” feel when hitting whoops hard (well hard for me:P ). Less dive into corners and turns in better. Checked the sag at the back again and about 3.5 inches so I am leaving the back alone. $460 is steep but I am pleased with the results.

Thats the bottom line Al is that you are happy with it mate, that is so true, good result
