yeah i noticed you had a HGS pipe. they are about $365 and FMF are $170 and Scalvani are $695. maybe you can bring your HGS to the track or the VIC titles and i can try it out for a session.

that might be a good idea. i can try the two back to back with the vortex ignition.

Like you say check the diameter, even if they are long the preload collar thread goes all the way to the top of the shock.
KTM do a:
215-35
215-40
215-45
I'm running the 215-40 and I'm 60-65 kg and it could go "a tad" harder, for you weight mate I think looking elsewhere is the only option!!! The 125 spring might just do it!!

I just bought a house so my priorities have changed. probably wont ride the VIC's now. the KTM is going good but its just sitting in the garage now. i need the suspension done to make it more fun to ride. im thinking of getting a 600cc track bike to ride at the moment for some real fun!

Not too bad when you by a bike that is already setup with Ohlins suspension, stands, tyre warmers and the like. Then all you need is much more costly tyres every 4 or so track days and much more costly Phillip Island track fees. Crashing costs will be another story.

Ok so i have been working hard in the workshop today on the Mill and Lath and have managed to get my head around fitting a Yamaha R1 shock to the KTM. here it is. it feels so much better and i think i am on a winner. i mounted it more vertical to give it a little more travel as the bike does not weigh as much as a R1. Worked out really well, not to mention how good the clicker adjustments feel. The shock is about 1/3 lighter than the motocross WP as well. (i added back most of that weight is steel though)

More play time ringo. ive had a hack at the seat to get my weight closer to the ground and make the big KTM feel like a little KTM. i put those wider bars on same as your as well so my arms get less fatigued.

Nice Grnman,
What did you use to cut it out? A hack saw blade or something??
Time to get PMT's!!!! At least on the front??

yep hack saw then im smoothing it out with a file. i still have to round the edges off as well. someone will have to upholster it for me. what color cover should i get?
yeah PMT's are the easy bit, if i get spare money im going to put it into the front forks. Then i can think of anything else my bike would need.

Hey Pinky,
In china class (5A) there is a cap (1250mm) on wheelbase, in Open class (5B) there is no cap on wheelbase, to the best of my knowledge.
