What mods or builds are you planning for the winter?
My plans are fairly modest, for the 900 FE at least. The 999 S is a different story
.
Currently, my Ohlins shock is at Cogent for a re-fresh and another 20-30mm of overall length / ride height. Stock, these shocks max out at 340mm overall length. I'm curious what the change in geometry and handling will be with a bit more ride height. The specs for the carby front end geometry list a 24.5* head angle. My measurements show it to be much slacker
. I'll write about this in another post, though.
I've also got an NCR oil cooler to install; a lighter return spring for the FCRs, and an LED kit for the headlight.
Finally, if I can find someone to re-shape and recover the Corbin seat, I may do that as well.
