test of new shocks and handbrake-system

[chris56]

had the chance to make a test-ride on a german spyder..
the idea to move the foot-pedal also with the hand is still not perfect if you brake with both..so i still wait for a better solution (1000 euros..)
i personally prefer my very soft spyder shocks&wheels -its right you can
drive the curves much more agressive (wheel goes up much easier)
but it wasn`t possible for me to find a perfect line in the curves (bmw-like) - i always did a zic-zac ..if you know what i mean..
on the end i found out something CRAZY !!
my steering (changed 3000mls ago) has once again half-inch play-room?
also if its stand still..
but i´m used to drive with this !! - the handlebar is always a little absorbed from the streets - easier to ride..so maybe there should be a "damper" somewhere in the steering system ...
hope you understand

I don't see Spyder Shocks on their website???

 

[chris56]

they sell it over some dealers.. not as a single shock - a kpl. set of modifications - more than 2inch deeper/lower...
but as i told you - a question of comfortable or highspeed (on the german "autobahn" you are allowed to ride as fast as you can..and they do it!)

Thanks for the link.

I guess people shouldn't complain about the ISCI brake kit price when the one you listed is over $2,000 US !

 

[chris56]

price ?? - you are joking the official listprice of a spyder here in austria is around 29.000 usd !!!.. including all the special taxes we have..
(is the same in most european countries..)
