Super bling

It's funny how these things evolve,just after Triumph first fitted big piston forks on the 1050 I was in Maxtons and they were very disparaging about the concept and saying they had a conversion ready to put them right.

Now everybody is using them Big smile

The seperate action for the two forks is the "economic" option. 
My M900 has the same set up rather than the more expensive 851 set up that Ducati could have used.
That is for a bike manufactured back in 1993. Mind it has changed a bit since then!

I think that was the Maxton view as well at the time.

Even the MotoGP bikes seem to use the Big Piston route these days,probably because it's easier to get to the internals in a hurry.

Whatever happened to the theory that both legs had to be perfectly matched or else poor damping would result?
