I just did the front.....If you buy the monotubes from Wingstuff, they also sell a fork seal kit which has all the seals and bushings you would need for the front. Handling is better and the handlebar vibration has diminished. I had the rear shock adjusted for a stiiffer ride and had to soften it up a few notches after installing the monotubes. I have not done the rear yet but I believe after 66k, it would not be long before it is due
Progressive front and rear upgrade
Hi. I have 2016 f6b and thinking about the monotube gas fork and replacement rear shock upgrades. I live on the Oxley highway which has sections of Twisties, 365 corners in 44km, and lots of meandering roads. I weigh 310lbs and ride mainly solo. Is this upgrade worth it? Exchange rates and freight make it very pricey in Australia. Does the kit come with spacers and which size should I use of needed? The bike has 40k miles so what are the other parts I should replace? Seals, bottom bushes?
The bike is comfortable with gw vent screen and love the seat. Bike understeers in corners and wallows around bends. Just got my CT and getting fitted this week. Ready for trip around Australia. Also getting bs h50 front tyre this week. Is there any details on how to replace rear shock? Any help appreciated
