Could you add me to your list Stroker Ray Martin Perth, WA Thanks Ray

Hey Swamp nuts, I ordered and received a set of those JBS shocks, 12mm, and they fitted perfectly. I can only guess that the studs have been changed in size between our two bikes. for those interested, they may not be perfect, but they are a huge improvement on the originals. Ray

Thanks LOLitsPOOP (Must be a story behind that handle!) I'll send them an email.

Thanks Orrible, Thats really helpful. I'll look into getting one of those cams, and giving it a try. Looks like the world of cam timing etc is about to open up.

Hey Perthbiker I have an Ace that I bought about 3 months ago, with 150km on the clock. Like you, as stock, the performance was underwhelming at best. There was no way that I could use it for my 40kmmcommute along the Kwinana freeway. BUT. I have: - taken out almost all the restrictions in the...
