Machining

Post by speedaddictedberk »

has anyone got access to a Lathe?
i got aluminium spacer rings for the forks on my bandit (more preload) but they're 20mm....... which gives a fairly exiting ride. :boing
so i'd like to trim them (and i dont trust myself with a hacksaw!) to 10mm.
cheers folks

Did you change to 15wt oil at the same time????

The spacers are to correctly set the static sag on the forks.

Big Kneed Al (master of the emergency stop & "stand up" comedian) you should change your name to “The sheriffâ€￾
Every time a Bandit is mentioned your there… do you receive text alerts or something?
