I'm revalving my CRF450R's boingers myself.Anyone wanna watch?
EDIT:I should explain why I am doing this.First of all the suspension is great on the CRF I just want to tune it for me.After years of asking I have found someone willing to share his experience with me.He has no problem with me sharing with you.It's going to take 3 or 4 shots to get it perfect but I have confidence I will get it perfect.After this I'm doing my '04 Tuono.I'll share that one too just don't know where.

It's not the fall that will kill you it's that sudden stop

OK I've got the shock apart now.I'll shoot a few of it apart and describe what I'm going for.I'll post some pics tomorrow night.Waiting on new base valves for the forks so that may be a week or so.

Cool. I haven't really messed with shocks.
I took the ones in my ST apart once to see if the progressive rate springs were installed upside down from the factory. Somone had mention theirs were, mine were also. It was a lot of work to find out it doesn't make a damn bit of difference.

OK here ya go.The stacks are bundled 'cause it's far too easy to screw it up.As I progress pics of the stacks separately will be posted.This will be a fairly long and involved thread so bear with me.I don't know why but the pics look kinda cheesy? shrug??

$5-20 depending on how much you've spent at that shop.I think I'm going to buy the rig to DIY.
