Default Bought Bitubo front/rear

To be honest it handles so well I don't see too much room for improvement, but I'm sure there's some. Front has 0.95kg springs supplied which I can change if necessary, got the shock yesterday although will be a few weeks until I can fit. Will phone Harris for fitment as they're closest to me. Since I've started riding quicker Im thinking I probably need a little more front bias also...quite interested to set about setting it up and learning.

Looks pretty also ay

Bitubo is tremendous heavyweight in TLR/S community, TLR shocks can be had for about 650 bucks and totally transform the bike. Now only if S1 parts were that cheap
