Burnt bronze would be closest, unless you mixed it to get it a little lighter. Why not get them anodised? The likes of SGB racing could match that colour and that would leave you with the same finish as the pic. Fork tubes are anodised from OEM, or factory ... more »

Good to see you’re making progress. Have you considered getting the shock body re-anodised? Or do you think it is too far gone?

Mines is an 05 KX125, almost finished my RM so I should get stuck into it now. I've heard that before actually but Ive had no issues with them.

Thats sick! Makes me want to get started into mine. cghimports. com keeps a few pro circuit and works connection items in stock for these if you haven't checked them out, UK based.

I think Marvin is overdue.

Thank you man I really appreciate that! Glad you enjoyed the build.

Ah yes, my favourite shade of green.

Magilligan? I'd go regardless of rain, unless its a washout. Gotta take what you can get in N.I.

That was a great read, thanks for sharing! Bike looks like its running sweet in the last vid, great job!

Preload affects your ride height but doesn't change the stiffness of a spring. So going up a spring rate to reduce preload won't make it softer on the small bumps. Valving changes would help the most with small bumps and initial travel/feel. If you buy ... more »

I’m almost 6 months post injury so I haven’t really got much experience and am still learning so much, but I’m T8 complete. I’ve been in constant pain since leaving the hospital, and worse when doing things like working on bikes or any activity that ... more »

Let’s call this 97% complete. Only things remaining are a new seat cover to fit, replace some bolts (triple clamp and axle pinch bolts) and a few little odds and ends.

I know it might be a lot of work but could you repost the pics on this page with a quick update and then just carry on from there? Just so you aren't stuck waiting.
