USD fork conversion advice

[MarioR]

Happy to help Mario

FYI if you go with FZR1000 front end...the stock FZR springs (.77kg/mm) are too light for our heavier FJ's.
 As we know, the springs control the suspension but the valves control the springs so with the heavier springs you should change the valves (unless you like boing boing boing pogo stick fork action)

After 2 variations, here's my final spec: 

Oil level: 110mm
Sag: 35mm
Spring: 34.7 x 340 .95kg/mm (you could go with heavier 1.0kg/mm springs) 
Race Tech Compression valve: FMGV S2045
Compression bleed #55 drill (.052in.)
Compression stack C38
Rebound stack R20
Rebound needle base setting 1 turn out
Oil 125/150 Golden Spectro cartridge oil

This should save you some work.

Cheers

Pat
