The air gap will only change the bottoming resistance. Because the oil is incompressible, as the suspension moves it compresses the air gap on the...
I have tinkered with forks on a number of bikes, and tried different weight oils and modified damper components. In my view K-tech may be advising...
I used shade-tree machining to make similar brackets to MD, not pretty, but the guard will hide it. You can achieve the same with a couple of...
So the short version is, there is some crud in the secondary master cylinder that needs to be cleaned out. All master cylinders have a tiny return...
Just a thought, I have had one instance where a pad was caught on the spring inside the caliper, so it fitted but was slightly angled. Fluid would...
I'd suggest you pull apart the 3-pin connector to the reg/rect from the alternator as a preventative, these get wet and corrode due to the...
You need a chain riveting tool like this example (but from a reputable supplier):...
Sounds like the battery, in my experience these do fail when hot even though they worked perfectly when cold. Getting a jump off a car battery...
The OEM manual I found states #90 mainjets front and rear UNLESS you're in CA in which case an 86 would be #95 front and #92 rear. Pilot screw...
I have the ZG double bubble on my 5G, can't criticise it at all, fit is great and function is much better than stock, probably adds 20km/hr to a...
I have a voltmeter fitted on my 5G, and even on a well charged battery the voltage drops to 12.2V or thereabouts with the ignition switched on,...
I chewed out the Metzeler Roadtec 01s on my 5G in about 10,000km, probably the most I've gotten from a set of sport-touring tyres recently. I do...
I took my VFR800 through the Tapu-Coroglen Rd recently and aside from looking like I had just finished the Paris-Dakar rally, didn't suffer too...
I run EBC HH on my three bikes (and a Vespa!); great feel and power, consistent hot or cold.

Looks like you could buy the OEM damper and fork cap off the Deluxe for about $210/side. That will give you adjustable preload and rebound at least.
Nice collection; love the CB1300!
The presence of the Gold Valves makes no difference; they will be hiding inside the cartridge which you are unlikely to open up. Even then, the...
Welcome to the forum. With lifelong experience riding dirt bikes and some experience with an 81 XS400 I'd have thought you have plenty of...
The service manual show this being done with the caliper installed, so the disk will stop the pad falling free. You might consider tweaking the...
