Outboard shocks vs internal progressive springs

[DigDug]

I'm with Donnie on this one. If you've got an Indian flywheel that works perfectly why pay more? How much better can a flywheel that costs two or three times as much be?

You're as tight as Irish is and you've never ridden above 40 mph Neville.

I thought we were discussing suspension?

I've had a flywheel detach itself from the bossont 3 Sisters circuit, that wouldn't have happened with a one piece flywheel.
But I know what you're saying Irish Nev, my £25 Man at C&A suit is every bit as good as a £1200 [that's a stab in the dark] Gucci suit.

I wouldn't go in a restaurant and pay £10 for a meal, I can't eat £10s worth of food in one go, but I'll pay £400 for a clutch. I could pay that much for a shirt in some shops. We all have different values and priorities.

I wont pay less than a tenner for a meal in a restaurant

You don't live in Blackpool though, nice carvery meal, all you can eat for £4.19.

I have the Scomadi outboard front shocks from Frank, and I have to say that the difference is huge, I love them and would take them off and take them indoors of a night if it was practical LOL

these pics are mid build/mock up so obviously bolts have been shortened, dome nuts fitted etc







theres no bouncing about anymore, proper damping. I would be interested to try some slightly softer springs than the 80lb ones on there, but thats just me being an engineer and wanting to fiddle and try other things
