What's the Matris kit worth? I'll be interested to hear the results.

| Ouch! But of its as good as their shocks, worth it. Is this a system with compression daming in one leg and rebound in the other?

| Pete, You can try them when you get my bike finished I have them installed. Mine have compression and rebound in both fork tubes. | |

Yes. I shopped around for the best price, but the SRU price was only $100 more fitted. --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ..[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.].In GRiSO we trust! . | |

But I can't handle a bar of this. |

Let's just admit that we have exhausted this topic.

| Not wanting to dampen proceedings but these things have a habit of rebounding back at you Mark. Is the Matris like the Matrix? Is Trinity there? [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] | |

| OK, now we've all got those bad puns out of the way (we have, right ??) - something semi-sensible: I've also put Matris front and rear setup on my 1100 - the basic shock and the the 'R' fork inserts. Installation of the shock was pretty straightforward (including the 'Roper-recommended' Swingarm greasing) but the forks were (as the Master himself would say) "a right front-bottom" So, good call on paying someone $100 (US or Aus) to do it - I spent 2 weeks and about $300 on special tools I'll likely never use again.... (I needed an oil-level gauge, RaceTech spring compressor and a really-thin 17mm wrench). It was a bitch to do. I used so many swearwords I almost applied for Australian Citizenship !! I got the components from Todd Eagan at GuzziTech, and he couldn't have been more helpful, replying promptly to emails and giving really useful advice. I just bit off more that I should have. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Results are worth it though - the bike is so much nicer to ride now: more compliant on both ends. I've pushed its limits even further away from my capabilities... (Biggest bang for the buck was the shock though). | |

| Thanks Jeremy. I was hoping to have my forks back two days after dropping them off, but the kit hadn't arrived from Italy yet. It's already been more than six weeks since I last rode GRiSO, so I'm starting to champ at the bit. --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ..[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.].In GRiSO we trust! . | |
