Wow

Awesome work Ian

Yeah the Hyperpro front springs come with 20wt , seemed OTT and was proved to be stupidly firm .

Adjusted the rear this afternoon and now have it at a more reachable (for me) height and seems more plushy .

Didn't get a chance to test ride yet as the rain came on but will report when I do.

Cheers Steve

Cant wait for the slightly warmer weather to come now.

The front end was really stiff with the supplied 20wt oil , that came with the springs , so swopped out the forks this morning with some fresh 10wt.

Now much better , noisy from the tyres though (they are 50/50) and were always a bit loud.

The back end , I did the adjustment nuts back as they were , but on measuring the sag etc , found that its added about 2cm to the height.

So will adjust off the shock a bit and see how it feels .

But its is very much like a new bike .

p.s. I just do what I am told, (see Jens comment above)

TA back together , for a cold ride around Cairn o' mount

Another Adventure Rider is now ready to roll.
congratulations Jenifer 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏍😀

Was very nice day today for Jen’s CBT

Used a heat gun around ends and they popped out with a soft mallet which surprised me a bit.

Steve the Cb is looking sweet

A little more progress today.
swing arm bearings replaced , they definitely needed changing soon anyway. So good that I did bother to replace.
refitted Swing arm and shock and started to rebuild everything.

Quite a process in a small shed

Lots of the bike missing here.
