Another angle of the Still Racing post, Jan 27 that came from the back of the gray 300 in the front of this photo from http://motorbikeroadracing.blogspot.com/

My friend Michael Woolaway builds art over at Deus Ex Machina.  Check out the Dreamliner, it has forks by LE:

Steve’s Yamaha adventure bike makes my trailer look small.

I went racing at Auto Club Speedway yesterday with WERA. Riding the #31 Iceman 250 Ninja I battled with two kids who weren’t even born when I started racing, their combined age is less than mine alone. It was a great race, we were stuck behind a SV650 till he ran off the track. The photo is from the back of the SV as we exit T 5/6 on the first lap.

I just found out that bike shops charge hundreds of dollars to fit your bicycle to you. People pay because it makes a big difference, you go faster with less work and more comfort.

Setting your motorcycle up to fit you is just as important. The thing is, I’ve been helping people adjust their bars, grips, levers, pegs and pedals since I started working on bikes. I even do it when I’m being a suspension vendor.

Check out the Coaching page on my web site. We start with fitting the bike to you and it’s included.

These finished R-6 forks are drying after being washed. Note the Travel O-Rings. The set up notes on your invoice will include the Max Travel. In this case, 6 mm. That is the distances from the bottom of the travel o-ring to the top of the foot when the forks are bottomed.

The left fork has been bottomed. The right fork o-ring is in the normal street riding zone.

Remember that travel o-rings only show you what the max travel is and that info is of limited use.
