OK Guys n Gals, it goes like this; in the case of my K9 Im running K8/1000 Cartriges, as to my knowldege there is no such part for the GENII or K9 Hayabusa, (as a Hayabusa part), these have been re-valved and re-sprung to suit me, (1.1kg Springs - the heaviest Ohilns make for the given application), with 5 weight Fluid.
And yes, the rear has been re-sprung to suit my weight, (currently approx 155 kg).
Tony from Race Bike Services has done a great job, I rode back home with the thought that i just need to feel how Busa is reacting to the Road now, instead of going hell for leather, (as I would of had I have been heading home via Chain of Ponds), (Im still learning the local roads here at the mo).
As you Adelaide Crew know, im currently zipping around in Jeans and a Dry Rider; todays ride home really drove home how much I need to be able to get back into my Leathers!!!
I have also noticed how the roads differ in this area from Chain of Ponds etc, over here the roads are "More Counrty", and "C.O.P"/Lobie Road is more like a Suburban Road or even Highway: (much much smoother, no Mud, Dirt, Cow Shit, Moss, nor Potholes and Bumps)!!
Nevertheless, Busa felt great, giving posative feedback thru the Bars, and the rear, and (as she always was), firmly planted to the ground wanting to FU@K off at the flick of a wrist!!
In a nutshell, im really happy with the outcome of my upgrade, it had to be done to be able to do what i want to do.
FYI, I bought the rear shock in early 2010, it cost me 1,800.00, the works done to the Front End including all re-springing, re-valving etc cost approx $900.00, the Cartridges I scored from a mate who Races in production Superbike, cost $500.00.
Total cost for this excercise, approx $3,200.00
Shifu, Bikerboy, i hope this gives you a little insight.
