Happily confused with this project
Ok, time to throw myself down at the Cafe Alter.
I bought this project not running, with a CBR900 fork swapped on.
After several months of work, the mechanical part is done.
Well, today's ride left me puckered up.
I really don't know if the fork swap was done right, or if the wheels are balanced.
So I pretty much took my life into someone's hands on that one.
While riding around 25 mph it wanted to wander right and left.
It seemed like it took me to correct it to get it back on course.
Kinda like I had been drinking swerving around!
This appeared to go away when going faster, but my heart rate only took so much before I backed off.
I tried taking pressure off the grips to see what it would do, but I was shit scared to trust it.
Tire pressure is at 35 psi cold. I have taken the front tire off to take to a shop to check balance.
I will know more about that tomorrow.
While testing the turning and brakes, everything feels tight.
So what the hell is going on? Anyone else experience this?
Now, before you start telling m
e about rake, and trail, and all of the other geo things, I am just looking for some advice, as this is a project that I bought in boxes and not designed myself, I am not looking for a "scrap it" tone.
If you can't help, it would be appreciated that you move on to the next person to flame.
Thanks - Cory
