My 94 with a few mods

1994, Heli-Bars, Corbin Seat, High mount 2 Brothers, solo seat, Windscreen from China ($10 total), I'm a cheap bastard, 2001 Mirrors.


Love this bike, probably going to do 929 rear shock. Nobody has ever said how they truly like it after having it on for a long period of time though?

 

Have a 929 shock on mine for the last two years; love it.

 

that does it then, I am going to buy one and do it this winter

 

If you weigh anything over 170 lbs I would get the spring rate increased before you put it on. Otherwise it will be coming back off due to lack of sag settings. I had Jamie do mine for me recently but only a ride 2 up to Monterey so far. I need to get the spanner to adjust the preload and see how the sag will set now.

 

WOW $10 for a 94. Good find!


i got a 929 shock on mine. although a lot better than the 16 year old stocker, it sucks because there is no way to reach the adjustment when its installed. so no tuning..... not sure if its different for the 4th gens

 

Nice bike, sorry, no help with the shock question as I have a WP

 

bike looks good!

 

nice bike bro, love the highmount! I have progressive front and back so no help on the 929 shock but I can +1 on getting it built for your weight before installing. It makes a HUGE difference

 

progressive rear???? How did ya do that, I am 6'2, 240lbs, so not a fly weight, not fat either...lol.....former linebacker.......anyway, I have ohlins springs for the front given to me, progressive as well,,,they are for an 800 1998-2001 though......will they fit, are they shorter or longer??????

 

oh ya,,,,,I LOVE the sound of 2 brothers. my other pipe was a 2 brothers as well,,,,,not high mount,,,still have it if anybody is interested

 

Oh, lol, not progressive as in "progressive spring rate".. progressive as in "Progressive suspension" the company :smile: the rear is a coilover with a piggy back much like an entry level Ohlins, the front is just springs and valves. I know what you mean, Im 6'7" 345lbs.. like a small building :biggrin: stock suspension doesent do us big guys any good :wink: my stuff wasnt built for someone quite my size.. im about 50lbs heavier than the guy it was built for but with some adjustment It does everything I need it to for my riding style/ability. Im not sure of the newer springs will fit, im sure someone will chime in that knows the answer.
