THe 950 has seen some love this winter. She's heading to Tierra del Fuego and the Chile-Argentinian 'Dakar' next winter.

WTF is up with these popcorn and lurker clones¿?

Been drinking again, eh?

Heck yeah, parts in the mail rock.

Apparently, RRob & I have parts needs that were separated at birth. I also bought front sprockets and a shift lever, and have been giving new lighting some serious thought.

I'm wanting to completely do the suspension, but I'll probably do, at a minimum, the right springs for my seemingly ever-increasing weight. I'm currently trying to convince myself that I really DON'T need the Scotts steering damper with the new triple that works with the sub-mount.

I finally got new springs for the DR, was nice on the road, but REALLY nice at Greenridge last week. You can finally get both wheels off the ground w/out almost bottoming suspension on the landing.

I've heard they're great for headshake. And smoothing out the rough stuff. Definately cheaper than a crash. All the pros use them. Some say they're the best thing ever.

I'm not helping, am I?

Man that Ohlins is sexy...but steering dampers are for sissies.

No, Rob, you're not helping.

Nubby, just paint me PUSSY PINK :lol8:

I'll be on 17" wheels and knobs, which is probably a recipe for disaster unto itself. Factor in that I haven't been dirt riding in oh, about a long fucking time, I'll solve the experience problem by throwing parts at it. :ugeek:

For the price of one of those fancy steering dampers, you can buy a set of real dirt wheels for it!
