Fork Springs - Ack-CB11_imp - 07-03-2013

Hyperpro fork springs ordered from Webike #22012640. The Ohlins work so good, the front drives me nuts now. Report to follow next month.

Nice - are the relatively skinny tires going to be the limiting factor once you've upgraded the suspension?

I'm guessing balls are going to be the limiting factor... Undecided

The gear-heads at my local shop, said they may be able to fit the CB with race-tech emulators (based on fork I.D.).
Waiting Ohlins shocks now, so I will have to look into this further..

Not relatively, just plain shinny, my dirtbike has a 140?

I got SPANKED by an 2012 R6 this weekend. Still love the bike, only I've realized my place in the food chain.

I'm just looking to smooth the ride out some, to match the rear.

Yes- we have to pick our fights, and the CB1100 tends to mellow out it's riders. Not a bad thing.

Let us know how the ride improves with the new springs.

Bike up, forks out.......

Hyperpro spring left side, just seems to be wound different. Pushing down on them the Hyperpro might feel slightly softer, it's real close though.

Back from test ride, smoother more controled ride and alot less jarring. Nice upgrade to match shocks. Taking my time it took about 3 hrs. Well worth the money and the time. The conventional forks are easy to do, no special tools except a http://www.motionpro.com/motorcycle/partno/08-0121/
If you can't hang the front off something a jack under the motor works also.
Very happy with results.
