YSS Shock mod - risers

Ya I would say top of the line. Anyway I can also see where as most people point out at the very least you need better springs in the front. So you can get rid of or limit the fork dive especially since you're quickening the steering. I got to spend a hour or so on 1k9's bike he had the 150 rear MICHELIN Pilot Power 4 in reverse on the front.. all I can say is its like night and day for sure and I will be loading a front rim up with one.

Fork springs on the list

I'll put some tie wraps on the forks and get some measurements when riding out.

thanks again for you input, this is a great site, a credit to the editors and contributors

Ya I think the stockers dive to much which makes the tire slide out both when diving and then when the weights transfers as you exit digging with the rear.

Mate - Not JUST the springs. I do have at home the instructions from Wayne Tripp on how to DIY the insides for slightly better damping. But Maxton innards were about 700quid.

I had a go at sketching out the angle of the shaft with the 13.5 shocks
I estimate the angle with wheel off ground is 14.5 to 15 deg.
Would be good if there was a tolerance figure from triumph to compare for the U joint
Interestingly just riding on the drive in first gear I got a small trickle of oil out the top of the wheel hub (looks like a release valve/ filler). no more has come out. suspect its just a slight change in intersection on the various components.

Thats a breather on top of the bevel box. Oh and I like the shortie TORS!

What matters is the angle when you are seated. All the numbers are here Universal joint - Wikipedia -- Happy number crunching.
