Bit short on the end, unusual to me, but has it's own look - well done.

Just a question on the YSS shocks- Iv'e had the RG 362-360-TRCL for a number of years but have only just got the spring rate correct for my weight- which isn't much. I started out with the Black springs 46-20-30-220 , but they were way too hard.
What spring are you using Rob ?
I also using up front the YSS fork valve with Voyager 12 springs, taped out the schrader valve and used the thread with adjusting nut so as to add pre-load to the fork. Basically converts the fork to a more modern cartridge type- and therefore more adjustable.

hi tackelhappy
I am only 74 kgs and have my springs set as the photo shows. This is a little bit hard for me but the difference in performance as regards to cornering is worth it. The springs I am using are 46-20X40X240. Hope this helps.
