Peter
I have been meaning to let you know what a great result we have had.
It was nearly a month ago we brought my wife’s Triumph Daytona 675
to you with the hope that you might be able to do something
to make it more pleasurable to ride. With the bike lowered
by a lowering link and the already rock hard standard
suspension, my wife was quickly losing confidence in the
bike as at 60kgs she was not exactly getting a comfortable
or confidence inspiring ride.
The lowering was causing plenty of problems with the handling
not to mention frequently being tossed out of the seat on
minor irregularities in the road surface by the too hard
suspension set up.
Leaving the bike with you for a day has had results we could only
have dreamed of.
Re-valving and correct spring rates have been the best modification
we could have ever made.
Now that my ham fisted suspension setting technique has been ditched
in favour of listening to what you say and taking time to
get it right my wife has renewed confidence in her riding
and is once again enjoying every ride.
Lowering the bike only a small amount has created its hassles as she
would ideally like it lower, but she is learning to live
with it as the benefits to handling have been so great that
she doesn’t want to change it.
Thank you Peter it has been the best money we have ever spent on a
bike.
Regards
Colin & Jennifer
