Aftermarket Suspension
« on: November 02, 2018, 05:56:01 PM »
Anyone have aftermarket suspension for their GTI? Looking to change to something a little more stiff and attractive.
I know that malossi have something but way too much $$ for what I'm looking for.

Actually I should be asking how do I know when my suspension needs replacing? I'm eating rear tireds every 15k (3 services). Correct pressure at all times with no extra weight on board. Running the Diablo Pirelli.

You getting 15k out of the rear tires? Miles or kilometers?

I get the same mileage if I wear them down to bald with city grips, on my downtown 300i or my Piaggio b v 350

I am still on original maxxis rear tyre which has 26,000km, can't say I am not suprised. But I hardly use rear brake, most of the time let the engine slow the bike down. 15,000km is good too. Rubber wears out quicker than nylon.

you're doing well, I am only getting 10,000km each rear on my DT200.
