    Cortech 18L or 12L tank bag SIZE question

    i got the 18l with the straps. it is a tad large so i had to shorten the straps a lot. the end flap had to be turned under right near the tank but it looks good and works well. i do have to unclip the front two clips to put gas in but no biggie. it is the full length of the tank so you might...

    front fork washer drilling etc..?

    The lighter weight oil was a suggestion from someone here who had a rough ride and when i did that it did help smooth out the rough quick bumps a bit..but still not great. I will try adding more fluid again and backing off the preload. Right not the rebound is all the way cranked down and...

    front fork washer drilling etc..?

    tank bag for xb12Ss?

    front fork washer drilling etc..?

    i remember reading somewhere that you can set up the xb 12's better by drilling and and adding some washers to the forks..but can't find any info so far. my 06 xb12Ss bottoms out when riding hard especially on downhills and it dives enough at times to cause the loss of traction on the rear. i...
