I assume, like me, you've been drinking? :wink:

Ha ha, I fear it may be the achilles heel of the Zed, perchance? :wink:

No, the spring rate is the spring rate. You need to be measuring the static and laden sag to determine if you need the spacers. On an Ltd I'd say 15-20mm static sag, with 40-50mm laden. I didn't mean to be rude, but you're not going to be in the fast group at a track day on an Ltd, are you? :wink: :...

Cheers Al, I'm enjoying the tweaking, I have to say! :) I was careful with the strap wrench and held it as close to the starter gear as I could to try to protect the magnets. It's still charging so all is well at the moment... My damper is the thinnest (one star - 6.3mm), and I was going to either g...

As it's an Ltd I can't see you riding it like you stole it, so I'm sure all will be well with the Hagons.

It's been a quiet week at work, but a busy one in the garage! A manual camchain tensioner was chucked at it, which made no difference but at least meant I could get shot of the butchered auto tensioner that was in there. Today I knocked up a bracket for an old Sprint steering damper that I had kicki...

To be honest Al, that sounds a lot better than I would expect for an ord Zed - I would've expected a lot more issues than you've described. You're always pushing the front hard into Mansfield anyway, but I would normally take it as you do to get the drive down to the chicane and not push the front a...

Sorry to rekindle an old topic, but it's an interesting one if you're a geek like me! :wink:

How are you getting along with your front end Al? I need to do something with my saggy front (and the forks on my bike too!) so I'm having a trawl around to see what works for others.... :)

In that case the GPz downpipes should happily fit, though it looks like you're already prepared for sorting the rear mount.

A lot more progress this week as one of my jobs (a night shift) has been postponed. My bolts and disc spacers arrived, and an inmate on here had a swinger for sale that I just couldn't refuse, and here is the outcome.... http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l125/Coosey/Zed/DSC_7955_zps9z9zybyv.jpg http...

Kerker exhaust badge

Evening all,

Does anyone know of anyone who supplies the rivet-on Kerker exhaust badges for sensible money, or does anyone have one kicking about that they'd like to part with?

Cheers,
Coose

A bit more progress today. Luckily the job in Wales I'm working on has ground to a halt so I was home a day early (though I don't get paid for today.....). So, having got home last night I was greeted by a big pile of parcels. In two of them were a pair of Grimeca calipers, and in another was some 8...
