Default shocks

Has anyone tried running green springs (40wt, drilled 54s) on the front and silver springs (25wt, 56s).

With no brace and as much chassis flex, does the clutch bell dig into the fuel tank?

for the guys who want to Ensure they NEVER puncture the Tank with a Clutch screw or Excessive chassis flex or What ever the case may be, Cut a Small piece of CF or Thin sheet metal or What ever you can find and Mount in place with either shoo goo or CA.

Here is my attempt at making the shock work as a brace. We'll see if it works once the season starts back up here.

Same here. Mine also goes down the side of the tank to offer a little heat shied from the pipe as well. I will dig up some pix.

The Novarossi 21-4 BTT or BTTS(depending on your budget) and the 9901 Superstrong pipe with the 41021 header.

4BTTS with the 9901 w/short header is a great combo.
