Premium Member rowdy Posted March 13, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted March 13, 2016 I've been collecting goodies but not had the time until today to fit anything. So far I've fitted adjustable levers, R6 throttle tube, -1 tooth front sprocket and today I replaced the POS rear shock with a Matris unit. A huge improvement all round. Really looking forward to fitting the Matris F15 cartridge kit once Matt's shim and piston kit arrives. Yea, I really like the improvement the Matris shock made. I've got the cartridges, but haven't had the chance yet to send mine to Matt to be rebuilt (not sure if I want to try it myself). Why can't left turners see us?

Holderosa Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Took the bike in to replace the broken left signal light and windshield after a 40-mph gale in Bellingham, Washington, blew it over. Damn, that is heartbreaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holderosa Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 @caliesv I really like the wheel stickers. I have some black reflective "FZ-07" wheel stickers for the front and rear wheel, but I haven't had time to put then on yet (too many other mods) . Nice, I'm trying to decide if I want black reflective tape, silver or white. I just got the rim Tape applicator in hopes the reflective tape will play nice with it. ☺ I'll let everyone know how it goes when ever I order the tape. Recently I posted this, @caliesv - it's 3M Scotchcal Striping Tape, 1/4-Inch by 50-Foot, Black (item [HASH]79902), hope this helps you decide. http://fz07.org/post/67395/thread 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, the Matris is a great improvement right out of the box @rowdy . I've not touched it yet (checked sag, etc). I'll do that once I've installed the cartridges. I'm in the UK so @pattonme is sending me his upgrade kit to DIY fit. Although last week I found out we have an ex MotoGP, World Superbike and MX GP crew chief and suspension tech just set up shop in town. If he's willing to fit Matt's kit I'll hand the cartridges over to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I will do, hopefully the postage wont be too much, just depends what the customs charges will be as well, I ordered the Cyclops bulb and actually worked out expensive with the postage and charges...

Practicing trail-braking and braking while cornering drills The guys I met today know their stuff and I will certainly be attending one of their other courses at some point in the future.
