Are you doing anything to the front suspension when I checked the one out today those forks look so small and cheap and they are non adjustable. Nicer front forks would be nice. I think this bike is too expensive after everything I want to do to it the $$$$$ just keep adding up and I think having $16,000 in a scrambler I might be better off looking at a bike with better components.
I"m working on getting a set of forks that I can tear down and get the spec's that I need for design and testing. The fork is not at the low performance level that the shock is at stock. It does need custom valving and adjustability. The only way to add External preload, Compression and Rebound will be with a cartridge kit. I will be supplying a full cartridge built by GP Suspensions. However,I am hoping that I will be able to also offer a less expensive revalve kit, but that will be determined on how the stock cartridges are assembled.
Your point on price is a very good one. Taking from my experience of working FZ-09 owners. A full cartridge is a hard decision on a under 10k price point. That's why I hope to offer both options.
As far as fork legs themselves. They are 41mm and that is the standard on 600cc and 750cc race bikes. They should be up to the standard duty of the normal rider. This bike is a scrambler but if your going to try run Paris to Dakar then maybe a different choice in bikes would be a better option.
