    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I'd back the preload off a quarter of an inch of so, and see what the sag comes out at. Can always crank it back up some if needed. Was told that it was an off the shelf unit, and that with my weight and mostly solo riding, the spring on it would be fine. The black allen-head screw on the side of the bottom of it is for rebound and compression dampening, it's a linked system. Was told after you adjust it, it's supposed to take a few piston cycles (a longer ride) for it to change, i'd ride it first before changing the dampening any.

I am hoping it will bring the rear end up a bit..

There was a spanner for the preload, i looked all over and couldn't find it. If i do find it at a later date i'll let you know and send it to you. No instructions either, just bolts in like the stocker. piston shaft/dampening adjustment side down.

Got it..thanks
 
I've found those adjustments are never accessible while on the bike, and once it's off it's easy enough to throw it in the vice and use some large pliers to adjust it.

Looks like Woods is our newest member. Maybe they'll offer members a little discount if they mention The GSR.
 
i think that is the nicest example i have seen.... a credit to you indeed :)
 
I have a beautiful set of CV 36's that Renobruce did for me that I am not going to use on my 1100. Thinking on mounting them to the 700, is that doable? Looks like it is..

I've got cv flatslide 34's on my 750 with a 700 intake cam and a mildly ported head. I can't say that 36's would be too big or not, you could give it a try.
 
I would save the 36's for something with more displacement.
Throw on a set of 32's or 34's.

Yeah that make more sense, actually a set of set of GSXR 750 slingshots would be ideal..it has the stock CV 32's on it now.
