3/5

Large things are not explained! It is much shorter than OEM!

Caution before performance crap! This suspension. It's short. (Angry)
It is listed as TW200/225 compatible, and since there is no explanation, I thought it would be the same size, but it is much shorter than the OEM suspension.
If it wasn't the same size, I would have hoped there would have been an explanation. If I had known it was short, I would never have purchased it!

Seeing things, Once I don't have a ShacoTan in my off car. I paid high gold to buy Garbage. I was disappointed.
I doubt the designer's Sense, even if it's the old fashioned Ska tune type Custom. no Sense!

However, I paid a good amount of gold for it, and since it has been sitting for about six months after purchase, I would not be able to return it......so I am in an atrocious mood,
Since it has a coilover function, I extended it to the limit and installed it. Still, it is a little shorter than OEM. Too bad.
Comparing the appearance before installation, the damper section looks thinner and poorer than the OEM.
Pre-road is installed as shipped. Attenuation is at its lowest.
The front side is equipped with a Cartridge emulator and pre-road is also applied.

When installed, the suspension itself is shorter, but the spring rate is higher from the beginning and the sag is reduced, so the Rear ride height is higher at 1G's ride. (The optical axis is lowered.)
This is not the kind of thing I wanted, but I feel ・・・・ indescribable・・・・
Normally I wouldn't want to give it even 1 star, but after riding it... not bad ・・・・
Things are not bad.
It's very well controlled and of high quality. It is clearly different.
Completely stiffer for on road use. The front end tends to cut into the road as the vehicle's ass rises higher than the OEM during cruising.
It picks up fine Gap and has a lumpy feel. However, when stepping on the Gap or swell while turning, it becomes a crisp and snappy leg without wobbling. It is honestly easy to ride.
I think this will increase the risk of cocking up when going off-road, and I don't think it will be a comfortable ride...
It is intended for long-distance travel with luggage, so maybe a harder taste that is not as heavy is not a bad thing...
Supple in the beginning, stiff in the back. Stroke is up if you want....

I didn't get what I wanted due to the lack of explanation, but things are good from a different perspective and well, this is what I got.... It was the Rear Suspension that made me feel indescribable.
I don't like even 1 star if it's just for the emotion. But considering the performance of the product, it's not bad at all, in fact, it's rather admirable. I rated it as 3 Stars because of this.
It is very good for on road driving....
Whatever the case may be, I would have liked to have seen a better description of the product.

This would be good for those who are customizing for on road or want to lower the ride height.
The stiffer design may be suitable for heavier people or those who carry a lot of luggage.

Sorry for the poem. View detail

Forged Aluminum Wheels M7RS Genesi Front and Rear Set

MARCHESINI

Forged Aluminum Wheels M7RS Genesi Front and Rear Set

Fits: KAWASAKI Z1000 (water-cooled)

4/5

I bought it...

I finally got my hands on Wheel!
And in Marchesini!

At first I was thinking about GALE SPEED or OZ RACING.
Over the past year, Wheel has gone up in price considerably and Gale has lost its value for money.
OZ RACING has become more expensive than Marchesini
470,000 yen for standard Anodized Color, 550,000 yen for Paint
Too expensive.
Marchesini the King in his own value system, the nobleman OZ
I felt like a commoner GALE SPEED.
If they undercut that and the price exceeds Marchesini's, I'd choose Marchesini.
And GALE SPEED's Brand power is inevitably weak compared to other niManufacturers.
Add $140,000 to Gail's GP1S and you'll be promoted to Marchesini.
That Marchesini didn't like 7 Spokes at first and shunned it.
See, 360 degrees around the circle is not divisible by 7.
This means that somewhere out of the seven, there is a disproportionate etc.
It's kind of creepy, isn't it?
The price and design lightly erase such thoughts, a lack of conviction.
As a result, I chose Marchesini's M7RS over Gale and OZ.

Review from here
I knew it was lightweight, but when you actually ride it, it changes more than you can imagine.
The forging and thin Rim make the GYRO effect much weaker.
It feels like the head goes in and falls down without the action of bending it.
It's so light that I'm afraid it's going to fall over as it is.
To be honest, I've seen a lot of these reviews and sometimes I wondered how they could change like that.
I can feel the difference when I feel it. Even I, an insensitive person, can feel the difference so far, so I guess normal people can see the difference, can't they?
There's Merit, of course, but there's also the downside of the lighter weight and reduced GYRO effect.
First of all, straight line stability is reduced, if not to the point of dizzying.
I get the sense that there's something unsettling about it.
I wonder if it is noticeable when the speed exceeds 100 km/h.
Also, Small Gap is transmitted as vibration.
This is thought to be due to the fact that the lighter weight is not fully absorbed and transmitted.
Maybe once you get used to this area, you won't mind.

Also, I've seen a few reviews here and there that say it's often springy.
I think I can solve the Large one by setting up the suspension.
The place where the Wheel was installed has various know-hows and
I didn't have the feeling that I'd be hosed if they did the Setup for now.
It looks good, performs well, and you won't regret buying it.
I myself bought it 80% on looks, so it's unlikely to be effective.
I think it is very effective Large for people who drive fast and furious on mountain roads. View detail

KITACO

Front Fork Top Bolt SET

Fits: HONDA glom, HONDA DAX125, HONDA MONKEY125

NO NAME

5/5

They sure do increase the appeal when fitted to a set of red forks on the Monkey 125

About quality and texture - The front fork top bolt set from Kitaco is made from billet aluminum with detailed machining and a red anodized surface finish, the quality from the overall fit and finish is perfect. About the feeling of use - This top bolt set serve no purpose other then to increase the appeal on the Monkey 125 and they sure do achieve that when fitted to a set of red forks. Products to buy together - A key product to purchase when working on the front forks would be a set heavier set of springs as the original ones need upgrading for just about everyone that ride a Monkey 125. Difficulty of installation - The installation of the front fork top bolt set is an advanced task that took 1 hour complete due to the unloading of the front forks and loosen of numerous fasteners allowing for access. Mechanical aptitude and the use of basic hand tools is what is required to secure top bolt set to the front fork tubes. Cost performance and comparison with other products - I find the cost of all the products Kitaco sell to great value when compared to what most other companies sell their products for and the front fork top bolt set is no different. About shipping and packaging - With there being no cost difference between sea freight and EMS for the front fork top bolt set, I chose EMS for an earlier arrive date. The part was extremely well protected while being covered in bubble wrap and surrounded with air pillows in a sturdy cardboard box. Any concerns, cautions, or advice when purchasing - Webike Japan is the first place I look to for all my motorcycle needs. From service parts to performance products and even motorcycle gear and apparel, Webike always seem to satisfy my needs in regards to availability and pricing. View detail
