front-end
you can't rake the front-end unless you go with wholesale changes.--stock springs are wound progessively--as are almost every inverted front end out there. problem is--you can't get longer inverted fork tubes from ANYBODY.---save spending thosands. actually the cartridge you can't get.--since the tubes are now on the lower half. if you find those you got to adjust for 1 inch longer neck on r3.--triple tree problem. not big enough to accept big cartridges. now you need rake in triple tree. go w/ that only and you screw up trail--crappy ride.---triumph didn't want anybody "bolting" this motor on a raked bike. you change to anything "aftermarket" and get ready to change it all!----john

My wilbers have failed on oil seal and one of the adjusters lost its ratchet effect .
They have gone back to the factory for repair at the moment . ( about 3 weeks till they return )
Not quite what I was hoping for in just over a year and 5000 miles or so

Thought I would never need them , so flogged them on ebay .
Should have left them on the shelf , gathering dust as spares , of course if I had done that would never have needed them .
sunniest few weeks in UK , typical , shall have to put a few solid metal rods on there , will feel the same as standard shocks .

Cant remember who it was , but is a member on the forum .
Said he liked the standard , and now has a spare set .
There are quite a few who can not see a problem with the originals .
