so after riding a couple roads in lake county i realized how much of a joy it is to ride WITH a steering damper.... after about 70mph any little movement from me on the bars created a SERIOUS front end shake... it was kinda scary... everyone behind me through the corners thought i was gonna get bucked off my bike everytime i rolled on the throttle outta a corner... LTW!!! i NEED to get those brackets made!!! :YEAH and maybe balancing my front wheel will help a lil too cause it seemed like i had a super hop going on... which if u think about it with the minimal hop in the front wheel at 70 mph, the front tire is coming off the ground thus creating minimal contact with the road and maybe thats why it was so easy to go into a speed wobble.... idk... i was jut thinking about it... and anyone know the stock preload setting on the 06 1000rr forks would be awesome to know... there are no lines to judge from like the earlier models... its like Drastic Dans forks... there is just the big nut that u turn.... i think maybe the front end is outta whack... but i wanna get my steering damper on!!!!

 

Yeah some of these back roads in Lake County will make you pucker

 

eh i got a quick question for you guys too, i been gettin some nasty head shake here recently too rollin endo's. i have been rolling what i thought was balance point endo's for about 3 months, and starting videoing them and relized i need to be alot higher, so now for about 2 weeks i been just suckin it up and gettin it up quick and high and roll em fast, i'm starting to get over the increased speed cause i'm rolling and not just braking but i can't get over the speed cause before i can get real far the bike shakes pretty violent, but i can kinda steer em and they roll pretty fast but i can't get comfortable haulin *** for the damn wobble i get every once and a while

do i need a dampner and does anyone have one for my r6?

sorry so wordy

 

Yes you need a dampner! ESP if your rolling stoppies to keep it from tank slapping and helps out alot! Whenever you get to BP it will feel like your flipping over. Just like when you first hit BP in a wheelie where it felt like the bike was back flipping.

 

And Kenny bring your bike around and we can set up your forks.And take a look at what the problem is with the front end.

 

Yes, both of you need a dampers.

Especially you Fiddypimp if you're yanking up fast endos.

 

Damper? BAH!

 

You don't need em when you have 28" of leverage with your KX 500 Baja Edition High Bend Pro Tapers...

 

Theyre low bend. And renthals. Get it right. El oh el

 

Yeah I guess that are Renthal Fat Bars... but still - you could leisurly stroll through to highchair if you wanted to... (instead of jumping to HC)

Low bend my ***.

 

Seriously. MX low. Its cool though, cause ill have an upper at least on it in the near future.

 

An upper with DB bars?

First long stoppies and now this?

Come on now Bill Jr.

 

the dirt bars are gone once i get a stoppie bike setup. dont fret yourself homey

 

i'm gonna keep my twitchy, mushy sub-frame r6 for an endo bike

it's got to be a good endo bike cause i only been on a big bike since the end of april and i'm killin erybody around here at them bitches

i'm gonna need something a little more sturdy when i start slowin **** down

 

preciate it cuh

 

its the new fad... i gotta gt my stiff tall *** to b able to pull through with my setup b4 i think about going turned out clips.... i may work on that tonight for a couple hours

 

Holy ****! T-Neck with and upper and clip on's!

Theres going to be ink everywhere!!!!!! :

PPPPPPPPfFFFFFFFFTTTTT naaggaaa pleassssseeeee

 

Not hating... but you do need to get on that. I'm 6'2'' clip ons & FF....

You're like the same height as me but with T-Neck bars...
