Drizzt just got one on the R1, he had a good deal..shoot him an email and he might be able to turn someting up for you...when he gets out of bed.. http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif Drizzt 02-23-2003, 11:31 PM yeah i highly recomend ohlins, they can cost between 500-1100 if the bike needs a mounting bracket, which no doubt the SP does since it does not have one stock. I had one on the TLR and they are mandoraty on the R1 Woodzzter 02-23-2003, 11:54 PM Campo said: I tank slapped for the first time yesterday, the story is in "Anything Goes" and well I'm now after a damper!!! Real soon!! Any links, hints, tips and whatever else?? Ahhh - Tank slappers are half the fun. They remind you that you're still alive! Ahhh - What doesn't kill you can only make you stronger. I replied to your post in Anything goes about the worst one I had that pushed the front calipers out so I alos lost the front brakes for a bit after I came out of the tank slapper. Had to roll to a stop with just the rear brake and keep working the fronts until I got the calipers back in place. Typhon291 02-24-2003, 04:32 AM A mate got an Scotts from Trick Tape (http://www.tricktape.com/store.asp) it was about $850 inc shipping, only took about 5 days to arrive too If anyone hasn't seen one of these babys they are a beautiful piece of enginerring verry well made and he recons it works fantastic on the R6. Typhon BigAL 02-24-2003, 05:15 AM ive got an ohlins, but if I had to purchase another one I wouldnt buy another ohlins, Id save a couple hundred bucks and buy a M-Toby, WP, or HyperPro, with the saving you could buy yourself some more underwear http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif SyMBi0TiK 02-24-2003, 09:06 AM hey campo.... did you get my sp1 article email....? http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif any useful info in there....? **DONOTDELETE** 02-24-2003, 08:25 PM SyMBi0TiK said: hey campo.... did you get my sp1 article email....? http://www.gixxer.com/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif any useful info in there....?
