No, and I've heard firsthand that there is a shelf life to kit stuff i.e. coatings ect. Pretty sure that was the secondhand set, as opposed to what kr94 runs. And it showed!
-
I would bet that shock was fatigued. The casting probably had enough, and shock was valved to the moon stiff. It could have also had compromised components internally.
-
That showa shock may have bent shaft, and then the chamber blew out. Force gets displaced somewhere! 😆

Look at what type of stax your building. 44.25 12mm id is a good shim to stock up on. Also, 28.1 12mm id is another good one to have. Depending on what I'm working with, I can usually get away with "strategic " shims rather than buying vast amounts of sizes. You'll see after a while what's needed and what you don't need. I wish there was a shim exchange for how many of certain sizes I have
-
One thing I'd explore in your shimming is single-stage stacks. As mentioned before,face/clamp shims can offer most noticeable cchanges. My bud and I have discussed advantages of good stacks in moto and off road.

On the larger mammal side of things; preload should still be in the working range (5 to 10mm) but the static number may be off due to much heavier spring rate holding bike up, while much lighter spring than stock has opposite effect. I favor rider/race measurements, standing on the pegs, taken at slightly conical angle. -
I'm doing a Husky with du band this week. Should be fine. I think drawback is running anything past service intervals. I've seen earlier pds bands look great at regular services.

Neither one will answer the phone on weekends. Something to keep in mind vs. a local that may.

Split the spring rate in the front, start at 5mm fork tube over the top tree, and adjust from there. C10 r12

I would like to see how it works as well. Also, on the reb side. 38mm face, and dual xovers was what I thought I measured on that stack. I assume more low speed comp is the goal of the port differences.
-
I was hoping to test different stack configuration maybe with stock ports first, then modded to same size. I think the piston has potential, as well as working in other 50mm shocks.
-
I spoke with a supplier (Solid Performance) and they offer dyno time. Not cheap, but having just gotten into the new wp shock, I have some ideas I'd like to test. It would be nice to see the numbers with different valving and equal comp port size. Also, I've been revisiting bleeds in pistons as well. Would be valuable to see the reb numbers with it.
-
They keep a lot of people in business for aftermarket parts for sure. Bike sales up. I think they'll stay the same for 2 to 3 more years.
