    Last year I raced on stock suspension to start with, budgets tight but I got a ttx shock which was ace and tyre wear was night and day.... So paid for itself in two rounds.

    But running stock front but been looking for a replacement internals / or piston kit etc but budgets always a concern (never meet a rich club racer (apart from jase) ;) )

    However these puppies came up at a great price so had to have them. :)

    25mm gas cartridge kit going in set up for me and my weight...

    Can't wait to try them and see what all the fuss is about.

    Amazing what we will pay for a second or two.... Well hopefully anyway :)

    Very nice but you know the cut in those lap times is down to the repsol stickers none of that bling

    Assuming you've not got a gig anywhere else before? Donington will be a good proving ground next week mate.
    You know your way around the circuit and where you perhaps feel they are doing it for you.
    Then you can release them to full potential at Oulton on the Saturday for your first race of the season :)

    Trying to sort the logistics of it now. He needs my forks by Tuesday (160 miles away unfortunately) to fit and send back to Wednesday to allow me try suss them out at donny...

    Would be great if it comes together.... But having not ridden on track since I broke me leg / ankle hoping I'm not over complicating things lol

    What's the worst that could happen! ;)

    Worse case is we turn premier inn car park into a paddock for the Wednesday night for any final tweaking that may need doing.
    Is there anyone attending the track day that would be close by to collect and bring them to you on the Wednesday evening?

    :edit: least you'll know they are there and you can concentrate on getting to the rendezvous site

    I don’t do smiley faces but if I did it would be a tut tut smiling waging finger.
