Thruxton Front Suspension Upgrade

Hi TJ, before you spend big chunks of money, have you considered changing the fork oil for a heavier weight version?

That will help with bump absorption. Will cost you peanuts and it's an easy job to do yourself.

 

I have Ricor intiminators in mine, they're meant to do the job! Never ridden one with stock so can't tell the diff, but judging by what you say, I am fully confident on bumpy bends and braking

 

Will be most interested in the hagon spring mod ht...please post your experience of fitting & the difference they make.

I put hagon nitros on mine, suspension is hard on the back.
May look at progressive springs for the front then have it professionally set up.Afterall, it's only me who's gonna ride it as I'll never sell her, not for 20 grand, well, maybe

 

I havnt had any probs....yet, but hagon s are only 15 minutes down the road to me & I'm sure they'd sort something out.
Nitros have only done about 100 mile, so still need a bit of running in I guess.
New tyres as well over winter so they need scrubbin-in too first beforehand

 

I remember now....they had issues with paint coming off I think that's why they dropped the different colour ones

 

I'll let you know next time she's leaned right over

 

Nitros are chunky to say the least

 

It may of been a speck of dirt ht.
I havnt washed her since dinnertime

 

Nice one ht.....
Went out on the thruxton today, but it was a tad cold & I spent longer cleaning the bike when I got home than I did riding it.....doah

 

Always the way.....always the way! I'm waiting to find the time to remove the exhausts and down pipes to give them and the engine behind them a good clean.

 

Loverly, just like Christmas,!!
