Wilbers Suspension for Rockets

[Mittzy]

Placed an order with this company Bikers Top Brands
Great prices and easy to deal with and international shipping.
I'm getting a rear set of 640 Nightline + 30mm and progressive front springs.
PM me if you want some price indication.
Same as my previous set (pictured)

So confused. These going on a different bike?

Neville just explained to me on the phone, with his tensioner, if one uses good oil (i.e., Motul 300V 15-50), one should look at the cam chain tension basically every oil change. And it should be "not too tight", explaining, "As the aluminum parts heat up with the engine, they expand and will take up some slack in the chain, and you don't want it to bind."

He said, you may find you need to turn it 1/32nd or at most 1/16th of a turn for adjustment. He said, "Many people get over [I forget the word he used -- motivated, ambitious, energetic] about tightening the chain, and that can be bad."

The Blue one is the APE brand but @Neville Lush makes a black on now and it is better - I now have one in BRUTUS.

I have to say, I love BRUTUS, it's like looking at MUFASA with a slightly different twist

I am torn between them as BRUTUS was my first and I made it my own and it is a pure joy to ride but SKUTA is different with the custom paint and it constantly wants to tear up the road I should call it something else but SKUTA is on the number plate, takes a bit of crazy to open him up

They’re are beautiful set. Brutus, more of a sleeper to the untrained eye, but those who know R3s, can see the telltale signs of power.

I only wish I had such a tough decision in the morn, hmm take the crazy fast bike I built or the even more rediculously fast custom!
