@v8chrisbadboy I have a 97 TL1000s and with a Scotts damper and a Bitubo shock ,and race tech fork the bike is transformed into an awesome stable machine.
Only the S version of the TL series was the widow maker not the R version, and only the 1997 version was the problem, as that had over 120+bhp at the rear wheel and only wieghed 187kg, and the chassis and poorly built rotary rear damper could not cope with the power so big tankslappers occured. The R was more stable (135bhp and 197kg), the S version is more explosive low down, the R version is built for top end speed.
rage? I was just stating the obvious. far from raging. now go back to your bridge TROLL!
