I just got the bike back from Barry at GP Suspension / KFG Racing... link below.... and the bike felt wonderful. I dropped two teeth in the rear sprocket going to a 43 from the 45... I may end up going back up a tooth but not sure.
We shipped the rear shock to Penske and they used it to build me a double clicker with remote reservoir and ride height adjustment. We installed it at stock height and then went up a bit. The bike wallows a bit in corners and this cured that. He used the forks to build a cartridge kit and it is simply amazing. The bike glues into the turns with trail braking to the apex. I picked up a 6th place on Saturday in a 10 lap sprint race. Sunday I had 4 races. Starting with a full 24 lap GP race. The bike get insane launches on the start and I diced it out for a great 3rd place podium finish. Then the next race was another sprint race, 6 laps, I came in 6th but was in the lead pack the whole race. Then another 10 lap sprint with not a lot of down time. This race was with bigger bikes, trying to fight up a notch or two. I ended up getting a little bold and tried an outside 4 wide pass and ran out of track. Wrecked the bike with an easy low side in the grass. Bike slid all the way to the tire wall. Lost the brake lever and the brake pedal. Need to do the abs removal. Soft brakes did me in. Too hot and not enough to scrub the speed off.
