Ok, I got my forks rebuilt and my local ma and pa shop used the Race Tech calc and made a call to the Race Tech tech support to ensure we got the correct fork springs for my weight and riding style so we do this once. We landed on the .90 straight rate springs with 2.5 wt Maxima fork oil (also...

Thanks Escape. Local suspension guy is ordering the .95 kg strait rate fork springs from Racetech. Sooo, my setup will be Tractive shock and standard fork rebuild with said fork springs. I'll report back with a review. Cheers

Hey there guys. I just ordered a Tractive shock with a heavier spring at 25k miles. Gonna have my forks serviced locally next week. Should I consider heavier fork springs?Progressive or strait rate? Factory recommended oil wt? I'm 225 lbs with gear plus 75 lbs Jesse's with gear. 2014 non ES...

I see now that it's listed as a front. Thanks Oldrider.

Thanks for your replies. I've been running many, many 705's and they're great, and priced super well but 5k miles on the rear is maxxed. Since I've not had any problems with with the Shinko 705"s I went to Shinko's website and they have a Tour Master I thought I'd try. The sizing is in that 110...

Resuscitating old thread, breathe baby, Assuming these riveted can type slip ons are internally similar/the same. Are any of you guys repacking? If so, how often? I have a 14 ST with a Delkavic stubby On an Arrow header that I installed new with, now, 15K miles on it (also with Anthony's reflash...

Ooops, Meant 150 80/17 thanks.

Anyone using these slightly taller profile tires for highway/touring duty?

I've been running 705's for years (GS and S10). Just wondering if I can get a bit quieter on the front and a few more miles back aft. Big runs between inland NW and So. Cal. by way of Central OR. Central NV. Cruise set 80-85. Done with $200 tires. Thanks guys.

Thanks So I would just have it inspected in its current modded condition and be good to go as a new resident (14 Super Ten)? I seem to be thick headed about the specifics. Thank you for your response.

So, I understand that Cali emission testing is required for motorcycles there. If I move there, Will my modded Super Ten pass? Thx

I gotta chime in. I'm on my 12th 705 rear between my (sold) GS and my beloved S10. I simply can't complain. Not at the price point, There are better tires out there but I'd rather replace my rear around 5k miles anyway. I run to So Cal from E Wa every year through central OR and NV in 90...

14 NON ES here; MRA Xscreen Madstad Power Bronze winglets I'm 6 ft even. 206lbs and I think this is going to be fine for me. Better now than my stock 08 12gs IMO. This combo was gathered largely from the fantastic knowledge that so many have contributed on this great site ::012::

Cbaileys wont work on the 14 and up, very different. I ended up getting the Power Bronze in dark tint. 2 weeks now and quite happy. no experience with other brands. I went with these because the Yamahas only come in clear.

I used a Wolfman Expedition in yellow on the back of a KLR for years. Rain tested many times and never disappointed. Made outa PVC coated canvas. Tough stuff. Very patchable too. I have 2 small tears (get offs). Most boating stores carry the same material for making patches. Quality silicone as...
