i have been riding my bike for a month now after sending the forks to bill at FT for the sleeves, when he first sent them back they had a really heavy oil in um and one of the guys helping him ripped one of the seals so i had to send them back but he put in a factory weight oil in them the second time because i am only 150lbs and dont need um that stiff anyhow, i cant really tell with the weight and sometimes they do feel stiff when coming down from a spreader or suntin but i have rolled a shitload of good stoppies and they feel just fine. and for the trouble of having to send them back the second time, bill paid for the shipping and threw in a hoody for me as well. great customer service.

 

bill doesnt do them anymore, he said they are more trouble than its worth, he said he might do some for a lot more $

 

thats crappy...

anyone know the exact dimensions he used for the saftey sleeve? i can get it lathed out an have racetech install it...

 

bro, its a rare thing for something to happen, kinda like getting in a plane crash.......i learnt stoppies for 2 years on my first 04 and never had any issues and now on my new 04 stock forks going WAYYYYYYYYY further then ull ever go and NO PROBLEMS!!!! soo dont bother unless ur bike has 1000000 miles on it and u never changed the seals or wat not!!!

 

wait wait... whats wayyyyyyyyy further then ill ever go?! hmmm?

 

i dont think its so much as changing the seals, as it is someone having blown seals and running the forks dry.... or overall just beating the hell out of them. I jump curbs, lawns, small children and woodland creatures on a daily basis, and my forks make more noise than that time you hit it with ur best friends little sister. I finally ponied up, and scored a set of 06 forks for 125$ shipped off ebay.... the deals are out there... just gotta be looking for them. These were on ebay for like 16minutes before i hit up the Buy-it-now

 

i got my forks done!

but mine was the bike he figured it out on

so i lucked out

ps. durty, i went back to clip ons tonight, im diggin it

 

hmmmmmmmm 500+
nice, i love stock ones flipped!!

 

i got rid of my stock ones for DB bars

so my homie gave me his gsxr ones, n i flipped em

but im buying FI 0* ones sat

 

so your sayn ill never be able to go 500+?!??!?!


Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

 

eventualy one day MAYBE but not now...!!! sorry kyle but ur just another HB stall combo pimp!!!

 

just swap them up for some 05+

plus the silver ones look tight as **** instead of the gold tubing

and itll be the same cost as getting that fork sleeve done

 

buahahahaha yer mistaken... i was doing 350 plus on my r1 with a blown dampner... an havent really done em for a year but im confident i can get 500 plus one days Soooooon,... warped rotors on my bike right now.. i touch brake an it skid hopefully buyn some rotors from debo tommorow... so ill gfet some more proof video for durty "the krazy disbeliever" hahahah
