I can see some of the potential problem with using Maxton could be that everything they do is bespoke so if they take the wrong data from you or misunderstand your thoughts on the subject its easy to go wrong. When I spoke to Richard at Maxton (very helpful and knowledgable chap by the way) he did say they like a customer to come with a specific problem so they can work on that rather than just the simple make it better mate statement.
defo mate and my probs were been 15 stone in kit well i will be 16.6 at mo without kit lol and the bike been hard turn in and vague on way out and its now a fooking point and squirt missle
Everbody is obsessed with ohlins probs with ohlins is its a bit over kill for roads in my eyes neally as bad as a underslung brembo on the rear hahahahh ;-0
Personally, good suspension is vital for me on the road and that is where my main money goes first. As to Ohlins, well there are others probably as good, some maybe better, but I just love the performance from them, the build quality and the looks. Having said that, I won't be putting Ohlins forks on, just too much money for me.
Mine has the Andreani piston kit ... not cos I fitted it ... they were in there when I bought em .... bonus or what
Old post...but I thought I'd resurrect it and sling in my two penneth I fitted GP30's to mine.....and love them. Previously I had the basic Maxton conversion...and that was good, the GP30's feel much nicer, especially when you come off the brakes pre-corner (or when you want to trail them mid-corner) Much easier to set up...and the changes to settings appear to be more noticeable. So less voodoo involved maybe? I don't track my bike (yet) but ride it pretty hard on the road. In the wet, the feedback from the front appears to be better too, giving a bit more confidence when braking. BUT My bike is a Tuono...so I can't specifically comment on Honda suitability, but on my Aprilia it's a win. Anyhooos...enough of the bollocks...here's a few pics for those interested
