So, I said I fixed it by altering my dogbones. This is technically true. But this made the bike very unstable at 70+ mph. The bike was designed for a 15" wheel. A 17" wheel lifts the rear an inch...

Yeah, I like the stock spring. I don't like that it hits the airbox when I use off-road tires. With proper preload it doesn't hit often, but it still hits on the really big bumps. When using Shinko...

Why would I loosen the preload? My goal is to not be hitting the bump stop.

Yeah, I just put a tire on the 18" wheel, so I'm gonna burn that up before upgrading to the 19". But where can I get an aluminum rim for under a hundred bucks? I can lace and true a wheel easily, but...

So, I just cut the dogbones and removed 6mm, then welded them back together. This gave me 3/4" rise. More than I had intended, but it means even with a Shinko 244 the tire never touches the airbox or...

Curious as I'm a heavy guy and I am often hitting the tire on the underside of the fender and airbox when riding heavily pot-holed and/or rocky terrain. My preload is turned WAY up, but I think the...
