LOWERING KIT
Working
on the fork length allows, among other things, to change the
stance of the bike and to modify its performance. To make
your Bonneville swifter (especially when taking a bend) we
suggest to lower your forks 22mm and to increase the springs
pre-load of 12mm. No need to change the hydraulic : the viscosity
of the original oil is perfectly suited.
To
lower a fork, two methods are possible :
In the first one, we replace the retainer springs (longer)
and the compression one (shorter). The fork must be completely
dismantled and this is, generally, what we do when it is necessary
to keep an identical look. A work for tool lovers, we may
say…
The
second method we suggest is really easiest : you simply have
to bring up the fork tubes by 22mm after having loosen the
top and bottom yokes ! The tube-covers we supply serve only
to trim the tubes that will jut out above the top yoke. The
pre-load spacers go on the springs after having removed the
fork tops (and the bars too, to make it easier…) Such
a long speech for a pair of spacers and a pair of tube-covers
? Yes… but it’s so beautiful and already done
