B-Mac Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 Great ride today. A little chilly at the start but turned out great. Gravel was very heavy and wet. Some slick rutted spots with clay but all in all great ADV conditions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba Posted February 26, 2018 Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 (edited) Brian: 'Em ar sum purdy roads! I've got an '09 Weestrom sixfiddy that I do a lot of backroad bashing on; I've upgraded the forks with RT springs and Gold valves, and swapped the rear for a DL1000 shock that raises the rear about 1/2" over stock and is a bit less susceptible to getting 'flabby' when it gets hot. Yours looks like the ride is pretty settled and plush when the going gets bumpy. Just wondered what set-up you are running? I've got Shinko 804/805s mounted now--what tires are you using? Oh, and since this is OR and it's still winter, what oil do you recommend? ;o) Video from NKY last weekend.

B-Mac Posted February 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2018 Bubba, Nice video. I love riding down thru KY. I have completed the full KAT once and two Half KAT's. I have a custom suspension set up from "EPM" Hyperpro Shock and spring set for my weight and riding likes. The rear is 1" longer and my front run's a 30mm sag. 10W Fluid. Klaus from EPM did my stuff on my 04 DL1000 with wilbers shock and race tec springs. I am happy with the mods and the bike. I also run Mitas E-07 Dakar tires as my primary but go with the stock Battlewing when I do long asphalt trips with the wife. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
