MG Cali front suspension travel?

[MotoKuzzi]

Possibly yes but Id really need to see the stripped assembly to reply more accurately.

On each damper rod there are 2 springs separated by a collar, the lower one is shorter and closer wound than the upper.

If there is a big disparity between the two spring rates you will indeed likely feel when the first spring reaches max closed distance and it ''kicks'' onto the heavier springs. But like I intimated a little difficult to comment accurately sight unseen.

Thanks thats all sorted. Moved onto new issues now like munted drive shaft and pinion splines... oh well giving me something to do on a sunday afternoon. Now back to that bikini thread although I'm sure i've seen some of them twice or more now.

You know, prudence suggests I should bite my tongue but one thing I really detest is total and brazen BS. I have been told by the said expert that he can do 67 second lap times around Manfield but it is totally unsubstantiated. If he can prove that under controlled circumstances and timed observation then myself and many others may begin to believe the tall yarns that are monotonously spun.
It is a reasonable expectation that considered experts in their field are straight up no nonsense guys devoid of BS.

Thanks Robert, I have a reasonable built in BS detector, it's a must in my line of work, good to know it's still working.

I'd like to see his Pilot logbook with the F-4, P-51, F4-U etc etc, NOT forgetting agricultural ops in a DC3.. entries in it.
67 second laps? Next NZ superbike champ!

Oh shit, I forgot another good one.

"On me Buell X1 Lightning mate, just rebuilt after smashing the cases with a rod, heading up the 'Taka's, boy di the guy on the Fireblad get a shock when I wheelied around the outside of him with my knee down"

Ummmm, heard of a little thing called physics arsehole? Yeah, you can work on my bike anyday.......

Pfffft! That's all light weight shit compared to his daring and skillful aviation exploits....
He even flew covert missions in Afghanistan, apparently....

what do you ride Robert?

[Robert Taylor]

what do you ride Robert?

Many road bikes that we modify. Many years ago I had a succession of road bikes. I never fooled myself as being anything other than a very competent and safe rider. My interest now is purely technical and you dont have to be an everyday rider to achieve excellent results. Just ask Stroudy, Bugden, Shirriifs, Harris, Skatchill and a whole host of everyday road riders.
Straight up, no BS and fantastic stories.

[coreys]

Thanks for the reply Robert. i was not trying to be fasicious. i was interested in what bikes you currently owned. nothing wrong with being an ex rider.

I am wondering why you wrote
"You know, prudence suggests I should bite my tongue but one thing I really detest is total and brazen BS" when i metioned Dukic performance?

The original thread was from a guzzi rider ( i ride a guzzi) and Kerry did some excellent work on setting up my bike, and took time out to improve my riding

From what i hear you are the "Dr" on suspension, yet your comments seem to be very bitter?

Have i missed something?

Lets just say that when you impart a lot of knowledge to people you expect that they will work with you and not against you, that they will also purchase the relevant goods from you. Enough said.
