    This is what I believe is the case, but don't take it for gospel as I was not hands-on with this install.

    The stock BPF cartridge has a limitation on the extension. It's not a hard stop on the fork tube. The Öhlins kit that we have to use (which is adapted from another bike) has a longer stock stroke, which Seacoast had to shorten to make work (but still extends the stroke vs the stock EBR BPF fork).

    I rode about 150 miles in the last couple days. On the way up to NH, the bike was kind of soft. It was very comfortable (except for my footpeg position, which I changed once I got to Seacoast), but not really that great. After spending a couple hours at Seacoast, everything changed. The rear end is enormously communicative. I could feel every bump of the road, but it wasn't harsh, just a gentle reminder.

    The front end is another story. The spring rate we originally chose is a bit too soft, so we need to go up one or two spring rates (I'm 5'11", 220 with gear on). I'm also going to put on the clip ons before I go up next so we can get a better idea of what the final spring rate should be so it can be used as a track/street bike. That being said, even with the wrong spring, the front end was much better than with the BPF. The bike now is a bit more ready to tip into a turn. It requires more concentration now, but it's more compliant mid-turn.

    I'll give another report post-spring change.

    Another couple things - the BUELLtooth quickshifter is unbelievable. However, purchase a longer screw as the one provided does not reach the end of the threads on the female end of the hole.

    Haha thanks ebrrider, it is not perfect but it was free material and only time and cheap LEDs. I may make a more stout strap though.

    Saturday, I swapped the stock handlebar over to clipons. This wasn't an easy transition. Things that you have to change include:

    • Removal of left switchgear entirely
    • Wiring and installation of Accossato 2 button right switchgear
    • Ignition delete
    • Installation of Woodcraft ignition bypass
    • Purchase and installation of second MotionPro race cam, throttle tube, and grip
    • Purchase and installation of Woodcraft handlebar brake reservoir bracket
    • Complete disassembly/reassembly of the dash
    • Removal of turn signals

    I also removed the plate, installed the 1125 race clutch springs, and had the cartridges modified so that they were a little bit more in line with the weight the bike is putting on the front.

    Here she is!
