    Wilbers Suspension

    Yes, the same as advertised. They are also fully rebuildable and can be fitted with the "piggy back" later if required. This according to the local dealer, but i havent confirmed that with Wilbers.

    Wilbers Suspension

    I run the Wilbers + progressive front springs and i'm very happy. The difference is especially noticable on the raised pedestrian crossings we have over here, they're sort of speed bumps if you know what i mean. If you ride according to the speed limits in town you dont have to slow down at...

    Squeal under acceleration

    Hi everyone I had this same issue although the squeal was clearly audible when the bike was under power as described elsewhere in the post. I was quite sure it was from the engine but this was not the case. During last winter when i changed my fork springs i discovered that damper rod...

    Suspension questions

    As said its a matter of opinion, here i completely agree with Ponters, why? I have only ridden two diffrent R3:s my own with stock suspension and the other was in dealership, that one had Wilbers suspension. Huge difference. Based on the test ride i ordered Wilbers 640 Nightline and Wilbers...

    Zard exhausts

    Well, think i have to disagree about that somewhat, my bike has the flat carbon fiber slipons, and personally i like the kook:). The bike has 21500km/13359miles on it and the pipes are absolutely solid, no loose rivets, no cracks in the CF or pipes/welds . Regarding the performance: The bike...

    Time for a new Helmet

    I have an Roof Boxer V8, check www.boxer-helmets.com Its a modular as you can see.Quite snug fit but very comfy IMO. I can put on the helmet without having to take off my glasses quite easily which i think is good. Removable liner and interchangable chinpieces, meaning you can adjust the size...

    I prefer my V8 like this, it doesent have 1" final belt drive like the boss hoss so it can actually use its HP, not that it has 500, but anyway:D

    Drilled bars for internal wiring

    There's no problem with drilling the bars, when i have modded bars for others i have milled a slot instead of drilling just a hole say, 10mm by 30-40mm long, its a litte easier to get the cables inside the bar that way.This might sound obvious but... be really careful when deburring the...

    Aftermarket Wheel Options

    This might not qualify as an option but maybe an idea... I made these wheels for my HD back in the early 90' using the following assembly principle: Left hub->centerdisc->wheel rims from Compomotive L and R side -> Right hub. This approach of course requires the required machining equipment...
