HI All,
after a full 2013 cbr 1000 build, i'm on a K5 for this year
Freshly bought 1 month ago, we have for the moment :
- Brembo MC
- L1 calipers
- Goodridge brake lines front and rear
- Gb Racing covers
- Translogic QS
- Akra evo 2 full system
- QA throttle
- Ohlins shock rebuild and stock fork rebuild
My Ohlins came new from Hardarcing with a 8.5 spring ( i'm 190/195 rider on fast road ride ).
But after only 150 miles, it leaked ...... i sent him to a friend who put it a 9 spring + 5mm ride height, which are so much better , but we are in Winter and i don't ride like spring ( cold roads ) i'm thinking about buying a 9;5 spring for this summer.....
Fork is stock, new oil, seals and busher. I have just add 10cc of oil to achieve 95mm oil level.
Fork seems to be good on the road but a little soft on aggressive ride, will try like this for now, but maybe a 1.0 spring just in one leg.
I ll pass the winter like this, and think in a 1070 engine next years.
Install HID next week and a Zero Gravity Corsa screen, cause this one is just Chinese shit ...
