Thanks for the positive comments.
Still going and looking well, turned over 130,000km last month while doing the Oxley with mates.
The only worn part that needs replacing badly is the VTR lower forks as they are worn beyond service, hard to find in good condition.
I'll set up a Sydney riders thread and see how it goes.
I mostly ride during the week whenever I find a bit of time to get away, or early Sunday morning.
I also do the Oxley and Phillip Island for WSBK every year.
I'm always up for a ride, The Putty/Wolombi/Old road loop is pretty good, ot just an early morning ride up the Putty to the old truck stop, an old bloke has set up a wood fired BBQ there and cooks up bacon and egg or snags in a roll with a pot of coffee always brewing, breakfast of champions.
No more than any other twisty road when all the idiots come out.
During the week it's empty, and if you get up early you mostly have the road to yourself.
A lot of the tight stuff has been recently resurfaced and its bloody good.
If you're asking how the new shim stack on the top compares to the old C33 stack on the bottom, the answer is they are fairly the same.
Slightly stiffer bottom shims will slightly change how and when the shims bend, but they are not that much different.
They might give a bit more flow on high speed bumps from my reading.
But if you're doing compression valves, you need to do rebound as well.
The spot is known as Eddie's corner, lots of photographers head there as it's a great motorcycle haunt.
Its in a gully, so the sun disaperas over a ridge from around 1PM. The lighting is always good (no harsh sun).
Its the third bend in a line of about six. Apex was about 6m back and is followed by a right hander, I'm already standing the bike up to drop it right.
One of the best roads near my place. During the week I have the road to myself.
I'm with Moose here.
You need to know what the base was before you strart adding stuff.
If in doubt, (and it sounds like you are) disconnect everything and start from scratch.
If not you're just chasing your tail.
