"Just wondering if you had a set up for my bike 04 r1. it has race glass, slicks etc poor tyre, have u got a setting for the rear, thanks"

 

 
  I'm a little confused as to what you mean by a 'set-up' for your bike. If you mean settings to make the standard suspension work, no, I'm sorry, you're out of luck, we don't do anything with standard suspension because we know it works only marginally well.

We would suggest our 20SSRK kit which will correct all the racetrack performance related problems that you have, e.g. no dive control, poor traction feel, not enough rebound range, fading compression and rebound adjusters that are almost impossible to get the right setting from. Yes, it will fix all of those.

The rear shock will respond well to modifications and improve the squat, traction feel and rebound action and tyre wear considerably over standard.  Or, if you want the best, talk to us about Ohlins/WP shocks and how we can make these shocks work for a rider of your weight P.O.A. but we usually do a good deal.
