Waaaaaaay better ride than the old stockers.
Handling improved and gear changing smoother as well.
At same time had the front end overhauled by Suspension Improvements (Logan City Queensland Australia). They took out the all the original fork internals and installed with modified blah blah blah something or other.
I liken it to when I replaced the OEM carb on my XR400 with a Mikuni pumper - "I should have done that years ago"
Quite (read VERY) expensive but well worth it.
Mums the word BJ....... $30.00 for the pair, your missus will be well impressed you didnt miss that little bargain.......

I think they come in two standard colours - straight black or blue
It may be possible to order colours as well.
Can find them on google, eBay and the Wilbers site.
These things are assembled individually from the order.
i got mine from barmy left the set up as it was and felt they were a great improvement over standard.
i do have a spare set of springs a might just get them powder coated .
:cheers:

well done BJ, im sure they are brilliant. Wilbers springs and a bit of set up fixed my forks. dont have the bucks for shocks so just got stockers re worked. seem ok to me but nothing to compare to.
Good choice, bought these for mine last year and what a difference.
Excellent quality and workmanship, from memory they are built to order and to suit your weight, riding style, whether mainly solo or pillion. There is so much adjustment on these and just in case you get it totally wrong when having a play with them yourself they include details of how they were originally set when built.
And as previously said above, £30 well spent :boogie2:
That paint job is exceptional BJ :drool: :drool:
Looks like you've put some money into that Bigian, great looking 14. :onya:
That is a very nice looking bike Bigian. Plenty of $30 bargains on it l see. :whistling:
awesome bike. 10/10. mate has rocket with very similar colour. it once fell off stand, dented tank. it was the only one in oz with his colour. insurance paid up, was thousands for new tank. yours is just beautiful, lots of 30 bucks spent for sure.
