I weigh in at 250. :( I still have stock shocks/forks on my '03 R1. If I recall my settings I'm three from the maximum on rear preload with 12 clicks out on both. Front is 2.5 lines showing, and 12 clicks out on both.

As to rebuilding them, I've heard great things about http://www.traxxion.com one of the local CRA racers, and track junkie says they are tops beating out many others. Same thing I've heard from others.

I'll be sending mine to them either this upcoming winter or the following, depending upon cash flow.

I weigh 220, the Ohlins shock was awesome on my 2000 huge difference from stock. The R&T Ohlins forks, couldn't really tell the difference from stock. They were better, but also had the right springs for my weight.

I don't think weighing under 200lbs, is really possible for me. I could lose about 10 if I ran 2 miles everyday ontop of already working out already for an 1 1/2hrs.

Damn you guys are big lol....


next mod for yall: weight reduction......

Not an option for me...

My weight hovers between 245 and 250. If I workout consistently, eat right and do everything to try and lose weight my wights won't drop. If I eat crappy food, be a slob and don't do anything physical, I'm still between 245 and 250.

BTW, I'm 6'1"

Throwing season starts up soon too! :jump :rock

Damn... I haven't had a 32 inch waistline in years.. I wear a 38waist/30inseam pants, and wear a 54 jacket which is still tight across the shoulders. :(

When I was 18, I weighed 180 pounds roughly and was about 5'10 or so.
