Thanks Don. How do you like them. This sounds like a simple worthwhile add-on then. There should be no reason not to do this. Does Puzzled have a connection for these? Can any shop get them? My friend should have access to them if that's the case. Do we have a special deal on them. I think he said around $80-$90.
Howie, the Puzzle-price is a fair bit cheaper than I've seen them advertised elsewhere. Quite frankly I wasn't going to do them as my first impression was that what little gain they might offer wasn't really cost effective. I just didn't expect to notice a lot from them.
Then someone here had a set they'd not used. I got them for less then $40.00 including postage. So for that gave them a shot.
I've gotten used to them now of course. But I was surprised. It's not an Everest sized difference like the Traxxion Dynamics parts make to the front end. But it's a real and noticable difference nonetheless.
Bike is a bit stiffer (side to side) in the rear. Rear wheel tracks straight more rather than following road irregularities. Also noticed that in the curves a bit the bike pulls upright under acceleration more quickly and more responsively. Especially for such an easy thing to do in the end it proved to be worth doing.
