Fork stiffeners and delrin bushings???
Fork stiffeners and delrin bushings???
Just trying to get an opion on if I should buy delrin bushings and stiffeners? I really don't jump much of anything but curbs and stuff like that while riding sidewalks and streets etc. Also I do have street tires so taking my bike offroading probably wouldn't be a whole lot of fun.
I am planning to install my heavy duty springs this weekend and have been looking on the net and thinking about buying these two products.
This a worth while purchase since I will be there anyways putting them in or a waste of money since I won't be mxing?
Thanks for yalls ideas.
Re: Fork stiffeners and delrin bushings???
I just put in my HD springs Saturday. I put in the delrin bushings as well and the front end seems MUCH more tighter from side to side. Got alot better response & control out of the front tire/wheel in my opinion.
I love it now that the suspension is done but not sure if I like the rear spring or not. I got the sik50's setup all the way around. Talked to a dude there over the phone he says hes 210# and "never bottoms it out" Well I am only 10 more pounds and I have bottomed it a couple of times. They were fairly hard hits but when I sat on the tail with the plastic off I kinda thought the spring would be even stiffer. Don't get me wrong its a HUGE improvement over stock and I highly recommend it. I just think unfortunately for my fat *** a complete shock kit would be the best bet. I can't afford all that so for now I'm rocking it as-is. Well worth the money for sure..

Ok I did buy the Sik 50s kit all the way around. I weight about 185 or so. I will defienlty be getting the Delrin bushings then. Although it doesn't sound like I need the fork stiffeners.

I just ordered the aluminum stiffeners and bronze bushings. Hopefully the front forks won't bend too easy. Well I'd prefer they didnt bend at all. The extra 50-60 bucks is cheap insurance IMHO.
