Installed Honda F4 BACK SHOCK

[the fan]

On the rear sag is measured from the axle to a fixed point on the tail directly above that point. I usually use a metric yardstick (meterstick?) and place a piece of tape on the paintwork. I mark the first unladen point on the tape with a sharpie and get all my measurements from there.

After a longer ride today I am happy to report that the present set up is  very inspiring almost as solid as my ST and very pointable and stays on point. I wonder just how much more the 5 inch rear wheel would have made compared to the 4 1/2 Cant imagine how more modern forks and those stiff swing arms would make this bike pretty awesome

Scott,
Which wheel are you using with the FZ1 swingarm?

Hey Bill, I think your write up is great.....I an unclear on what you would want to merge it with?

So as not to interrupt Chiz's discussion on his F4 shock mod, I was just planning to copy and paste Bill's sag info over in the files...

.....or Bill, if you want to do a more detailed post for the files.....go for it.

You may not visit much but your knowledge is always welcome...and appreciated!
