...and you have waaaay too much spare time!!!

[Snaggletooth]

I'm bored to......

 

So details man, details!

 

Is that with anti-dives installed or block off plates?

 

With OEM springs or Progressives.....or Sonics?

 

Dry weight or with oil? Yamaha fork, hydraulic or motor oil? 10wt or 15wt?

 

If with oil.... how many ozs or how many inches from the top of the fork? (compressed)

 

Was the clear coat stripped off and the legs polished?

 

I'm pretty sure I won't have any immediate demand for the info but ya never know.

 

And somebody was probably gonna come along and stir the pot anyway so what the heck.

We also need to know the elevation at which the weight was taken so we can figure in air density and gravitational pull...

Real problems are for people who can't handle the fantasy world. You need to come over to the dark side......
