Want to put on 11oz ? replace your upper a-arms with adjustable ones from ASR. 5.5oz heavier than stock each for those on a diet. I believe most of the added weight is in the heim joints.

Did you replace the upper alum arms? Did you do negative camber with thise adjustable ones? Handling better?

Sorry, I haven't had a chance to try them out, that's this weekend.
My bike is a 2000 so the uppers I replaced were steel. These are the ASRs off Ebay and the fit and finish seemed to be top notch. I went with very slight negative camber which really amounted to 1/2 turn off the heim = to about 1 to 2 degrees is my guess. Castor I set at 6 degrees and can feel it want to return to center on the floor of my shop so there has been a deffinate change.

Sandman, I'm riding at Florence Sat with Sand45 and a few others. It's been awhile, I've got new paddles, pipe and a-arms to try out. We're going early to try for parking spots at the wall. The weather doesn't look too good but I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Are you riding this weekend?
