Anybody had Noleen do their shocks? I'll be getting mine back in a few days and I'm all excited about it.
I have never been 100% happy with my shocks (Elka valving). The rear has always been much too soft. After I went to the long travel linkage, it was almost unrideable. It got much better after I did the KTM engine swap which lightened the bike about 100lbs and lowered the COG substantially . I also changed the shock angle some. The fronts have been satisfactory , but I have always felt the high speed compression was too soft.
Anyway, I sent 'em to Noleen along with all my specs and a sketch of my rear geometry with all the measurements and angles. I'm hoping they can get them right on the money the first try. Just wondering who has used them and how your shocks turned out.
