hey jeeks take it easy!! brian is just trying to come to some conclusion as to why you did this mod and if it would be of any benefit. BDI is a thinker and a doer if the idea makes sense. i've seen the things he's capable of doing to a bike. he's smart and just doesn't want someone to go backwards with their setup. i gotta be honest, i really didn't care about your mod, but brian did and you should be grateful that someone cares about what your doing. bdi wasn't attacking your mod he just wants to see if it did good or bad and some tech info and measurements to back it up. attacks aren't cool and i'm sure that danger a.k.a "david" won't appreciate it either.

OMG, an intelectual post finally.
Look, who knows how the mod will work. I'm a thinker and a doeer as well. Hence the friggin post! I'll be the first to know this weekend. It was an idea....thats all. I can easily install the original shock in it's place in minutes. I just don't know why he's got to get all up in my s**t like that. This site needs some friggin CONTENT in the other forums, besides the 500 forum. You can't deny that.
If he wanted to be helpful, he would have suggested helpful ideas, instead of bashing the idea from the get-go. I posted the same thing on TT and all I got was helpful ideas....even PM's from a suspension specialist.
Pffft. It's the last time I contribute to this place. :|
BDI:
I was trying to be helpfull but you are unhelpable. When I brought up the difference in the shocks you blew me off and treated me like I'm stupid. I will not come right out and tell you that your idea is a bad idea. First I will hint around about it and let you figure it out on your own. If you want a helpfull idea how about this, rebuild your kx shock, spring it correctly for your weight and riding style. Then set your sag, learn something about tuning suspension and go out with a clipboard, pen and a screwdriver. Find some place to test the bikes supension make adjustments one at a time and one click at a time and note the effects the changes make. If you do this correctly you will make that kyb work light years better then any showa you take off a random bike and hack up to fit your kawi. :wink:
BDI:
I noticed that all of the pictures of jeeks mod had disappeared. I did not want this to be a dead post with no clue as to what it was about so I took it upon myself to put all the pictures and the explination to them back.
kaw rider:
i'll have to say that a great shock guy can do wonders with your stock body shocks and forks.
